⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.3M/yr
72.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, seizures and operations at expected rates; no major incidents or large-scale expansions.
expected seizure frequency routine research activity no major containment failures
🚨 Minor Incident $7.6M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
One or several complex seizure operations requiring additional MTF deployments, tactical lifts, localized remediation and extra PR/amnestic work.
complex seizure hazmat cleanup localized media attention
🚨 Major Breach $32.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or high-exposure event requiring large-scale emergency response, remediation, infrastructure repair and extended cover-up operations.
containment failure public exposure mass remediation
🚨 Research Scale Up $10.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Accelerated research push (Project Driver expansion) requiring additional capital and expanded staffing for weapons/testing or large-scale experimentation.
project expansion weapons testing authorization additional facility outfitting

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates aggregate wide published ranges from analyst notes into midpoint-style figures; significant uncertainty remains due to unknown anomaly frequency, severity variability and policy choices (reserve sizing, acceptable risk).
