⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
93.5% probability / year
Normal year with continuous containment and no major incidents; standard recurring operations only.
no_incident routine_operations
🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
6.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident (e.g., single accidental compromise, small-scale media exposure, or limited equipment failure) requiring investigation, targeted response, short-term legal/PR activity and limited remediation.
compromised_individual_nearby equipment_failure small_public_exposure
🚨 Major Breach $4.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or cascade of casualties leading to emergency quarantine, large-scale mobilization, compensation, possible demolition, and multi-agency response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst notes with ranges; midpoints were used where ranges were given. Several recurring items are partially overlapping in the notes (e.g., robotics and generator maintenance), and actual costs depend on site-specific contracting and escalation risk, so confidence is medium.
