⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.9M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major containment incidents; recurring costs only.
no incidents routine maintenance normal staff turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $3.2M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring limited MTF response, targeted amnestic administration and small repairs.
partial protocol breach single-person exposure minor equipment damage
🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring large-scale site quarantine, replacement of equipment and broad amnestic administration.
multi-person exposure facility damage public exposure risk
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.9M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure or deliberate external exploitation requiring full crisis operations, rebuild and extensive legal/cover operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for both capital and recurring costs, yielding moderate confidence; uncertainty remains around frequency of transports/incidents, potential scale-up if novel R&D is required, and unpredictable anomaly-driven escalation.
