Annual recurring
$10.5M
Personnel

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.5M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with steady-state operations (no major incidents).
no containment breach regular maintenance and research routine operator turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $11.5M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized containment lapse resulting in limited external exposure and a small remediation/amnestic operation.
single-point failure in operator procedure limited Internet propagation contained quickly small civilian exposures (tens to low hundreds)
🚨 Major Breach $20.5M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant breach with widespread Internet propagation or large civilian exposure similar to historical events (hundreds of casualties).
operator timeout / mass failure anomalous Internet propagation beyond containment hundreds of civilian exposures requiring mass amnestics/cover
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $44.5M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$34.0M vs baseline
Worst-case systemic failure with broad Internet propagation, political exposure and mass casualties requiring large-scale remediation and political mitigation.
full public exposure through Internet vector mass civilian casualties and international attention long-term political fallout requiring strategic remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are wide ranges (memetic research scope, contingency/cover-up reserves, and MTF readiness). Hardware and staffing estimates are firmer; scenario probabilities and required contingency fund sizes are judgement calls based on historical breach notes.
