routine operations scheduled maintenance no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $5.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized agitation/escape attempt or chamber damage requiring overtime, repairs and extra biohazard processing.
single-chamber agitation temporary increased feed/disposal overtime and limited repairs
🚨 Major Breach $7.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or mass-aggression event requiring large-scale recapture, heavy equipment, extended cover operations and public mitigation.
multi-chamber breach public exposure extended recapture and cover operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use analyst-provided ranges converted to midpoints; detailed line items exist but several large drivers (pig pricing, contingency reserve sizing, frequency of incidents) remain uncertain, so a medium confidence is appropriate.
