⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.6M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Routine year with steady-state operations, no major incidents beyond expected small operations.
no major leak regular monitoring and upkeep limited amnestic use
🚨 Minor Incident $11.1M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized leakage requiring targeted forensic sweeps, additional amnestic administrations, and short-term surge MTF activity.
localized public leak several symptomatic individuals targeted media dissemination
🚨 Major Breach $15.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant public propagation (mass exposure) requiring mass amnestic deployment, extended MTF surge, broad witness relocation and large legal/PR response.
broadcast/cultural propagation media amplification multiple-region spread

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and a defensible allocation of one-time vs recurring items; uncertainty remains around staffing levels, frequency of incidents, and scale of required amnestic deployments, so confidence is medium.
