Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.2M/yr
82.8% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, maintenance, and research continue.
no significant public exposure routine maintenance and research
🚨 Minor Incident $10.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Localized leak or resurfacing reference requiring targeted sanitization, legal/PR response, and limited forensic investigation.
localized data rewrite/report unauthorized public mention requiring takedown
🚨 Major Breach $14.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant CK-like rewrite or multi-jurisdictional exposure requiring large-scale sanitization, legal battles, replacement of archives, and accelerated research.
regional CK-class rewrite multiple vaults/data centers compromised
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $59.2M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Widespread reality-restructuring or public revelation causing systemic loss of canonical records, mass sanitization, international political fallout and major litigation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling mid-range estimates; however CK-class behavior, legal exposure scale, and international variables introduce substantial uncertainty.
