⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $22.3M/yr

92.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with no major breaches or political exposure; contains ongoing monitoring, staffing, censorship and legal/PR activity.

steady_monitoring no_major_incident

🚨 Minor Incident $24.3M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline

Localized containment event (small breach/medical surge) requiring extra MTF deployments, repairs, overtime, and PR/legal rapid-response.

🚨 Major Breach $82.3M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$60.0M vs baseline

Significant escalation: rapid expansion or destructive event requiring large-scale relocation, expanded legal settlements and major remediation.
