⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with predictable daily deliveries, routine counselling, weekly lab scans, and no major incidents.
daily deliveries only no terminations or breaches routine maintenance and staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $1.8M/yr
7.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Single localized contamination/medical incident or small-scale termination requiring cleanup and limited legal follow-up.
isolated toxic delivery detected small-scale contamination cleanup medical treatment and forensics
🚨 Termination Surge $2.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Multiple termination operations / repeated re-materializations requiring sustained tactical operations and cross-site alerting.
enforcement of Rev.3 terminations repeated rematerialization near perimeter increased tactical deployments
🚨 Major Breach $2.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Escalation to multi-site contamination/exposure, serious injuries, large-scale cleanup, legal liabilities and public mitigation.
containment failure or wide-area distribution multi-site exposures major forensic, legal and remediation response

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of ranges provided in analyst notes. Many items (land costs, frequency of termination events, escalation potential) are highly variable, so totals are approximate; staffing salaries and recurring consumables are better defined, raising confidence modestly.
