⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.3M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year of operations with scheduled missions, routine maintenance, staffing and ongoing research — no major incidents or breaches.
steady_mission_tempo no_breaches routine_equipment_loss
🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized equipment losses, one or two robot losses, small contamination event or vehicle recovery requiring an expedited response.
robot_loss localized_contamination expedited_recovery_operations
🚨 Major Breach $14.3M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment event requiring multi-week emergency response, international coordination, heavy equipment mobilization and large-scale remediation.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $109.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Full-scale international incident or uncontrolled spread requiring national military assets, extended evacuation, and large-scale containment — possibly multi-month and capital-intensive.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing a reasoned estimate; however large uncertainties remain around mission tempo (annual mission count), true depth/scale of the anomaly (hundreds of levels), equipment attrition rates and the low-probability high-impact escalation scenarios, so confidence is medium.
