Initial capital needs are modest (~$5.2M) driven largely by a contingency reserve and initial equipment purchases; annual operations cost ~ $10.87M, dominated by vehicle replacement and infrastructure repair. Main recurring drivers are vehicle replacement/compensation, maritime research/surveillance, and legal/cover-up expenditures.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.9M/yr
81.0% probability / year
Normal year with ~6 manifestations, routine responses and no large-scale exposure or multi-site events.
six routine manifestations no public exposure standard repairs and replacements
🚨 Minor Incident $12.4M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
One high-severity manifestation at a high-capacity site (mall/stadium) causing substantially more vehicle loss and infrastructure damage in a year.
single high-capacity site hit large vehicle haul (50+ vehicles) major local infrastructure damage
🚨 Major Breach $15.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Multi-site or politically sensitive incident requiring large emergency response, mass legal payouts and extensive PR/legal remediation.
multi-site simultaneous manifestations political exposure / mass casualties major litigation claims
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $12.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Decision to escalate maritime interdiction to continuous ship operations / permanent air assets following leads, increasing annual research & asset costs.
evidence pointing to maritime origin decision to maintain continuous ship/air presence scale-up of surveillance and interdiction

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are anchored to analyst line items but many high-variance drivers exist (vehicle loss count, site severity, maritime research costs, litigation). Recurring sums are reasonably constrained; single-event costs and long-term research escalation carry significant uncertainty.
