⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.1M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with monitoring, staff wages, routine research and liaison operations; no major incidents.
no incidents routine operations scheduled drills
🚨 Minor Incident $8.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized stadium incident requiring rapid response, limited hazmat cleanup, small legal/PR action, and limited witness care; no mass amnestic deployment.
single-stadium occurrence hazmat cleanup targeted PR/legal response
🚨 Major Incident $10.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large public incident requiring mass amnestic deployment, large-scale forensic/hazmat response, significant legal/PR push, evac/medical operations and replacement/resupply.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but contain large scale uncertainty (number of stadiums, frequency of incidents, memetic effects). Many per-event costs vary widely; totals are mid-to-robust-program assumptions.
