⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
77.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, monitoring, maintenance, and expected minor trespass handling.
day-to-day operations occasional trespass handled regular maintenance and monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $2.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident such as a small mass trespass, localized equipment failure, or small forest fire requiring extra amnestication, overtime, and contractor support.
small mass trespass localized equipment failure small containment-area fire
🚨 Rf Jamming Deployment $2.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Decision to deploy active RF suppression/jamming and associated covert operations and legal mitigation in response to elevated risk of civilian connections or escalated communications threat.
legal approval for active jamming surge in civilian Wi‑Fi connections escalation in communications-based recruitment
🚨 Major Incident $4.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.8M vs baseline
Severe containment incident (large forest fire, mass exposure/mass trespass, or wide scale equipment failure) requiring emergency contracting, mass amnestic administration, large-scale medical response, and accelerated remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates come from detailed line-item analyst notes with many explicit figures (highly informed), but several line items have ranges or optional/legal-risk elements (ACSN ranges, optional RF jamming, incident frequency), so uncertainty remains.
