⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.8M/yr
79.9% probability / year
Normal year with targeted containment, routine monitoring, and expected amnestic case load (~500 subjects).
No major public surge Standard number of appearances Targeted interceptions effective
🚨 Minor Incident $10.8M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Localized surge in confrontations requiring expanded rapid-response and additional amnesticizations (e.g., higher per-event case load).
Multiple public incidents Clustered appearances with hostile subjects Spike in amnestic caseload
🚨 Mass Exposure $507.8M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$500.0M vs baseline
Wide-scale public exposure/trending event causing mass confrontations and necessitating large-scale intervention.
Viral global resurgence Mass trending on social platforms Failure of containment narratives

Role Count Notes
Embedded PR Agent 4 [#1] Four full-time Foundation agents embedded in PR firm (account handlers, liaisons).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#2] Close protection and plainclothes detail for appearances.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes include detailed line-item estimates for most categories, but several inputs (incident probabilities, scale of amnestic caseload changes, and large-scale remediation costs) are inherently uncertain due to memetic risk and public behavior; hence medium confidence.
