⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.7M/yr

81.5% probability / year

Normal operational year with routine monitoring, staffing and occasional minor maintenance; no major incidents.

no major breach routine maintenance standard staffing levels

🚨 Minor Incident $11.5M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline

Localized field leak or small containment incident requiring focused response, amnestic mobilization and equipment repairs.

small sleep-field event localized mass-unconsciousness single-site remediation

🚨 Major Breach $15.7M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant breach causing large-scale staff impacts, major recontainment operations, legal/PR mobilization and repeated medical interventions.

site-wide sleep event mass amnestic administration large recontainment/op litigation

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $50.7M/yr

0.5% probability / year +$40.0M vs baseline

Worst-case scenario: mass manifestation or near-civic-scale sleep-field forcing evacuations, activation of contingency reserves and huge legal/relief costs.

📋 Confidence Notes

Mid confidence: analyst notes provide many explicit line items and ranges allowing a reasoned midpoint estimate, but wide ranges on major contingency items and uncertain incident frequencies produce moderate uncertainty.
