⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $706K/yr
74.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; containment and scheduled research operate normally.
no unauthorized contact no off-site manifestations routine activations handled as scheduled
🚨 Minor Incident $731K/yr
20.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Isolated unauthorized contact or single on-site death requiring extra autopsy/forensics and overtime.
unauthorized contact with guest single death requiring extra autopsy/forensics
🚨 Major Public Manifestation $1.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Manifestations appear off-site or subjects vanish in public requiring full incident response, expanded cover-up and replacement logistics.
manifestation outside Site grounds public exposure large-scale retrieval and cover-up
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure or multiple simultaneous disappearances/deaths requiring major MTF intervention, large-scale legal response and containment upgrades.
multiple public exposures significant fatalities or mass disappearances escalation requiring MTF and infrastructure upgrades
