⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.7M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no significant incidents or large containment breaches.
routine monitoring daily cleaning and embedded agent operations
🚨 Minor Incident $6.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring medical response, limited repairs, overtime, additional amnestics and temporary PR/legal work.
small breach or multiple-casualty event evidence cleanup requiring overtime and additional amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $8.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring large-scale mobilization, use of incident reserve, major repairs, forensic reconstruction and extensive legal/PR operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are drawn directly from analyst estimates and ranges, so mid-point selections were used where ranges existed; uncertainty remains around incident frequency, legal/cover complexity and contingency sizing, so confidence is medium.
