⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $841.4M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with SMA-K/O effective; routine propagation, staffing, medical readiness and covert operations proceed without major incidents.
no_memetic_failure routine_medical_load ongoing_propagation
🚨 Minor Incident $891.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Localized exposure or discovery leading to targeted legal actions, PR campaigns and limited surge medical response.
localized_leak targeted_media_exposure limited_outbreak_cluster
🚨 Major Failure $3.9B/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0B vs baseline
Widespread collapse of the memetic carrier (SMA-K/O failure) causing mass disbelief, requiring nationwide/global surge medical response, mass amnestics and large clandestine operations.

Role Count Notes
Department of Misinformation / Content & Academic Ops 1000 [#3] Content strategists, academic liaisons, legal counsel, PR specialists and contractors. Assumed ~1000 FTE at an average fully-burdened cost (~$85k/year) consistent with the $85M allocation in staff_wages.
Field Team / Tactical Security 250 [#14] Trained containment operatives and tactical response teams. Assumed ~250 operatives at a higher fully-burdened cost (~$170k/year) consistent with the $42.5M allocation in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates rely on broad ranges and classified/black-budget items; many line items (clandestine ops, legal bribery, global propagation scale) are intentionally variable and underreported, producing low confidence.
