⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.0M/yr
74.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine prevention efforts and a small number of contained incidents (assumes the recurring budget above, including a modest number of incidents and the contingency reserve).
routine embedding and monitoring small number of contained incidents no major public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $10.4M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
One year with an extra, non-catastrophic incident that requires additional searches, legal work and overtime but no major public exposure.
unprevented overbooked flight limited external discovery local lawsuits / search operations
🚨 Major Breach $14.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Significant exposure or multiple simultaneous incidents requiring large legal payouts, extended operational response and use of contingency funds.
major leak to media class-action litigation or political scrutiny multiple simultaneous incidents
🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $20.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Large-scale public scandal or legal defeat requiring multi-year buyouts, political lobbying, and major program overhaul.
full public exposure governmental investigations major civil/criminal settlements

Role Count Notes
Embedded Operative 8 [#1] Eight operatives embedded in United (revenue-management/reservations/ops roles).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#5] Airport rapid-response teams stationed/on-call at Newark and Houston (rotational staffing).
Medical Officer 6 [#6] Nurses + on-call physician for amnestic administration and monitoring (4–6; using upper bound).
Research Scientist 6 [#19] Anomalous phenomena team: scientists, analysts, linguists and support staff (4–6; using upper bound).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are derived from analyst estimates with explicit figures (salaries, known per-incident costs); however key uncertainties remain (annual incident frequency, size of contingency drawdowns, and degree of required airline cooperation), so overall confidence is medium.
