Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$4.1M/yr
Normal operational year with standard monitoring, staffing, research and routine maintenance; no major incidents.
no breach
routine maintenance
standard research cadence
🚨
Minor Incident
$4.3M/yr
Localized containment event requiring emergency repairs, short deployments of response teams, limited legal/PR costs and intensified searches.
small breach or structural failure
targeted memetic leakage instance
limited recovery operation
🚨
Major Breach
$6.1M/yr
Significant containment failure requiring large-scale remediation, heavy contingency spending, possible public exposure mitigation and major recovery/search operations.
structural collapse or wide semantic escalation
major public exposure
large-scale rescue/neutralisation

Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to indeterminate Zone Penrose area, unpredictable memetic/ontological behaviour, wide cost ranges in analyst notes, and uncertainty about frequency/severity of incidents.
