accidental opening single-person exposure limited medical/forensic response
🚨 Major Breach $209K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$130K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or escalation requiring relocation, major medical/psychiatric care, extensive forensic investigation, and legal/PR actions.

📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and operational needs are well-described; many line items have ranges and optional elements (e.g., optional analytical study, contingency reserve). Estimates rely on pro-rata allocations and standard museum/security pricing rather than line-item invoices, so uncertainty remains moderate.
