⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, regular procedures and no major containment incidents.
steady caseload no major clustering regular operations
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized brief spike in cases or an isolated uncontained PoI requiring emergency response and limited additional evacuations/operations.
temporary spike in manifests single PoI surveillance failure one-off emergency evacuations
🚨 Outbreak Escalation $5.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant cluster/outbreak requiring full activation of contingency funds, major scale-up of surgical teams, full 50-person observation facility operation and multiple evacuations.
widespread cluster of manifestations multiple simultaneous PoI activations public exposure requiring legal/PR suppression

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are present with analyst-estimated ranges, enabling an order-of-magnitude budget. Uncertainty remains due to caseload variability, frequency of incidents, choice of local vs expatriate staff and memetic/amnestic development costs; contingency items are large and probabilistic.
