Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $819K/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with daily performances and standard operations; no major incidents or containment escalations.
daily performances no audience incidents routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $849K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Localized audience disturbance resulting in medical treatment, counseling, minor property damage and limited legal/administrative response.
audience noncompliance minor injury furniture damage
🚨 Major Breach $1.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or escalation requiring contingency activation: retrofit, relocation, large legal/cover-up costs, and extended overtime.
forceful removal attempt escalates public exposure / legal action containment upgrade required

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and plausible ranges; however many items have wide ranges (e.g., acoustic work, contingency, legal exposure) and operational frequency of performances affects some recurring costs, so estimates are medium confidence.
