Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.7M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with steady-state containment, monitoring, and R&D activities and no major leaks or mass exposures.

🚨 Minor Incident $8.2M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Single-document leak or limited external exposure requiring rapid amnestic deployment, targeted takedowns, legal retainer use and extra MTF activity.

🚨 Major Breach $11.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline
Large-scale public leak or GoI-wide exposure requiring mass remediation, large MTF operations, PR/legal campaigns and significant contingency/reserve spending.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges and programmatic direction but several items (R&D scale, pharmacological program choice, contingency usage) are highly variable; point estimates are mid-range and therefore medium confidence.
