⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, research, training and readiness expenditures only.
routine_operations scheduled_research no_breach_or_exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized breach/exposure affecting a small number of personnel or a contained broadcast requiring medical decontamination, overtime, limited legal response and equipment replacement.
localized_exposure D-Class_uncontrolled_behavior equipment_replacement
🚨 Major Breach $2.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public broadcast of audio leading to large-scale response: full MTF deployment, legal/PR campaign, large-scale medical intervention and potential neutralization/relocation operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item estimates and clear mappings for one-time and recurring costs; costs are based on tangible items (construction, equipment, personnel wages) and standard contingency practices. Scenario probabilities are subjective estimates but grounded in containment difficulty (Euclid, audio cognitohazard).
