⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $45.7M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine containment, surveillance, research, and maintenance.

🚨 Minor Incident $50.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident (escape attempt or field diminution) requiring sedations, short-term mobilization, repairs, limited public compensation and increased flight diversions.

🚨 Major Breach $95.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or widespread escape requiring large-scale mobilization, evacuation, heavy repairs/replacement of systems and major PR/legal remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are drawn directly from detailed analyst notes with explicit ranges; however many items are range-based and several optional program choices (dedicated satellites, scale of aerial assets) materially change totals, so uncertainty remains.
