Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$13.3M/yr
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
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
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.
