⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with all policies maintained and routine operations only.
on-time premium payments no containment incidents routine maintenance and payroll
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Single small late-payment or low-impact civilian exposure requiring amnestics/compensation and limited emergency response.
missed premium for a single policy small-scale remediation or asset reimbursement
🚨 Major Breach $4.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure / missed-payment cascade leading to personnel abduction, large amnestic campaigns, legal actions, and large emergency containment deployments.
payment lapses on critical policy multiple civilian abductions or public exposure large-scale retrieval and amnestic operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed line-item analyst notes and canonical containment procedures, but many anomalous risks (frequency of missed payments, scale of seizure events, pod cost variance) are inherently uncertain; midpoints used where ranges were provided.
