Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$56.5M/yr
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine ejections performed under policy cadence and expected maintenance/research activity.
no major containment breach
scheduled maintenance and routine transfers
normal research cadence
🚨
Minor Incident
$58.5M/yr
Localized incident requiring one emergency ejection, limited amnestic cleanup and deployment of contingency teams.
imminent-death threshold exceeded for an instance
small-scale breach or insider incident
single inter-universe transfer dispute
🚨
Major Breach
$106.5M/yr
Significant containment failure or politically escalated cross-universe incident requiring large-scale remediation, rapid R&D surge and major operational spending.
multi-site breach or failed ejection
mass exposure requiring wide amnestic campaign
need for large emergency reserve deployment

Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints and analyst guidance but hinge on critical unknowns: whether inter-universal transfer tech exists (retrofit vs full R&D), ejection frequency, and political/ethical constraints; large ranges in original notes drive low confidence.
