⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $718K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with no significant containment incidents; routine operations only.
no_manifestation-related emergencies routine maintenance and consumable use only
🚨 Minor Incident $768K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized airlock or extraction failure or small containment event requiring overtime, extra cleanup, limited repairs and contractor mobilization.
airlock/interlock partial failure small-scale ink spill or aggressive manifestation short-term contractor mobilization
🚨 Major Breach $1.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant airlock failure or site-wide outage leading to large contamination, prolonged remediation, potential reconstruction and public suppression actions.
airlock failure during site-wide containment incident extended facility outage or generator failure large-scale contamination requiring off-site incineration and rebuild

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst provided detailed line-item ranges for nearly every category, enabling midpoint-based estimates; however ranges are wide for major items (reserve, generator, breach cleanup) and incident frequency is uncertain, so medium confidence is appropriate.
