⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.3M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with ongoing containment, research, medical programs and covert activities but no large-scale incidents.

steady recovery throughput routine research and clinical caseload no major breaches or public exposures

🚨 Minor Incident $8.6M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline

Localized incident such as a single large raid, targeted contamination event, or small breach requiring emergency response, cleanup and legal work.

large seizure requiring extended MTF deployment localized contamination requiring extra disposal small-scale public exposure/legal action

🚨 Major Breach $13.3M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant outbreak or public exposure requiring mass treatment, large-scale containment expansion, extensive legal/media operations and possible facility destruction.

widespread public outbreak major media/GoI-1783 exposure variant instability requiring mass destruction

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing a reasonable mid-range estimate; many items remain range-based and scenario-dependent (GoI actions, outbreak size), so uncertainty remains.
