🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
One or two larger-than-normal disappearance events requiring additional recovery effort, overtime, PR response, and small emergency payouts.
heightened disappearance cluster local media attention additional helicopter/drone sortie hours
🚨 Major Breach $7.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or a large containment escalation requiring mass remediation, large settlements, emergency hires and heavy equipment deployment.
public breach / exposure large-scale disappearances major topographic event
