⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $32.2M/yr

65.0% probability / year

Uneventful year with normal intake, routine operations, research, and no major public exposures.

routine_containments no_major_public_exposure

🚨 Minor Incident $33.8M/yr

30.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline

One or more moderate public exposures requiring targeted redaction, several emergency transports, and limited jamming/legal actions.

🚨 Major Exposure $42.2M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline

Large-scale public exposure or a high-range broadcaster event necessitating mass response, evacuation, extended legal actions, and international MTF deployments.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and typical operational assumptions; anomalous behavior, uncertain eventual caseload distribution, and wide ranges for legal/exposure costs reduce precision to medium confidence.
