⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.9M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment operations and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $11.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized civilian exposure or small containment incident requiring surge amnestic operations, extra aviation hours and legal outreach.

🚨 Major Breach $15.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or mass exposure requiring multi-site surge, large-scale amnesticization and heavy aviation/response draw.

🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $20.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
R&D requires rapid scale-up (engineering new antimemetic tech or population-level countermeasures) triggering major multi-million-dollar program expansion.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates rely on analyst-provided ranges and high-uncertainty items (antimemetic tech, aviation usage, R&D scale). Many values are midpoints or conservative reserves and containment uncertainty could materially change costs.
