⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.9M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal season with routine monitoring, seasonal closures, and ongoing research; no major incidents.
seasonal monitoring routine research tasks
🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized breach/interaction causing limited damage and several deployments for remediation, small indemnities and accelerated restoration.
localized windrow-provoked dematerialization small public exposure or property damage
🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach resulting in infrastructure damage, major remediation campaigns, large indemnities and sustained CTF operations.
windrow crossing public infrastructure major accidental provocation
🚨 Regional Outbreak $7.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Multiple LOIs affected simultaneously requiring regional scale-up: multiple field labs, large deployable fleets, and multi-site restoration and containment.
simultaneous multi-site manifestations persistent cross-infrastructure threat

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Botanist 1 [#3] Senior botanist overseeing analyses and field supervision (covered in staff_wages).
Field Technician 2 [#3] Seasonal field technicians for inspections and logging (covered in staff_wages).
Monitoring Technician 2 [#2] Live video/audio monitoring and console operators (aggregate salary included in staff_wages).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges enabling mid-range estimates, but variability is high due to seasonal behavior, choice of on-prem vs cloud storage, and uncertain likelihood/severity of breaches; therefore confidence is medium.
