⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.4M/yr
81.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; steady operations, routine research and no significant breaches or public exposures.
routine operations scheduled research no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $5.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or medical emergency requiring overtime, temporary repairs, limited relocation of specimens and modest PR/legal response.
single-specimen breach emergency medical intervention localized repairs and overtime
🚨 Major Breach $7.4M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring multi-week emergency response, cell replacement, major repairs, large-scale capture operations, substantial legal/settlement costs and reserve drawdown.
multi-specimen escape structure repair/rebuild major legal/settlement actions
🚨 Political Exposure $8.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
High-profile public exposure or local political backlash requiring extensive witness relocation, large coverup/settlement payments, extended legal battles and long-term increased operational security.
public disclosure or mass witness reporting local political/legal action large-scale witness remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on broad ranges from analyst notes and a high degree of uncertainty around containment complexity, infectiousness/power of specimens, and site procurement strategy (purchase vs. lease). Historical gaps and anomalous behavior increase uncertainty.
