🚨 Minor Incident $2.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Small breach/contact or aggressive episode requiring medical treatment, overtime security, repairs, and limited emergency amnestic usage.

🚨 High Volume Production $3.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Anomalous production of literature at high rates forces activation of large-scale archival, human review, and content-sanitization programs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst mid-range assumptions linked to each note; containment and recurring staffing/nutrition costs are relatively well-defined, but major uncertainty remains around anomalous output volumes and behavioral/legal outcomes, reducing confidence to medium.
