⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
89.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine daily medical care, monthly procedures, and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Medical complication or increased procedure frequency leading to additional ICU time, extended antibiotics, extra cadavers and legal/admin overhead.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $4.5M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Containment breach or public exposure requiring emergency response, site repairs, relocation, large medical/legal response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes and article provide detailed operational requirements and ranges for most line items, so recurring and one-time categories are reasonably constrained; uncertainty remains around procedure frequency, cadaver sourcing (legal vs covert), and catastrophic event probability/cost magnitude, hence medium confidence.
