Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $13.3M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Steady-state operations with occasional isolated cases, routine R&D and surveillance; no major field mass events.
routine surveillance isolated containment and orchiectomy cases
🚨 Minor Incident $14.8M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Limited field infestation requiring temporary hotzone deployment, multiple quarantines, additional surgeries and increased R&D/testing.
localized hotzone several detained hosts requiring surgery/quarantine
🚨 Major Hotzone $43.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Critical/mass infestation requiring full surge: multiple temporary BSL-3/4 hotzones, mass quarantine and surgeries, large legal/cover operations and major use of contingency reserve.
widespread critical infestation mass exodus / multiple concurrent hotzones

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a mid-confidence order-of-magnitude estimate; uncertainties remain in event frequency, throughput of quarantines/surgeries, and policy choices (centralization vs. field operations), so confidence is not high.
