⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.7M/yr
96.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, staff operations, regular PR/legal maintenance, and Omega readiness but no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $5.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized surge in cases or a small public leak requiring expanded field deployments, extra legal/PR response, and limited additional medical/amnestic actions.

🚨 Major Escalation $16.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Widespread media exposure or rapid geographic scaling requiring nationwide PSYOPS, mass amnestics or multiple Omega interventions and large legal/operational surge.
