⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine monitoring, AI scanning, periodic removals, research, and steady cover/legal activity.
routine surveillance periodic removals ongoing research
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized publicity or small cluster of contagious works requires intensified field operations, extra legal/PR, and modest amnestic use.
local leak/publicity clustered spread in community
🚨 Major Breach $5.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Widespread transmission or high-profile media exposure triggering large-scale suppression, mass amnestic deployment, major legal/PR campaigns, and rapid scaling of operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling reasonable mid-range estimates, but several items (amnestics per-dose cost, AI development range, research scope, and legal/PR needs) have wide ranges which reduce precision.
