⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $38.1M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady surveillance, research, reserve maintenance and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $39.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized jet-stream injury or small environmental damage requiring medevac, remediation and limited legal/amnestic responses.

🚨 Major Breach $46.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Containment attempt or capture effort causes significant casualties/environmental damage requiring large-scale mobilization and reserve expenditure.

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items and ranges are well-documented in analyst notes, allowing midpoint estimates; however very large ranges for R&D, reserve sizing, and contingent event costs introduce substantial uncertainty.
