⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.5M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with steady operations, staff wages, routine maintenance, and baseline MTF readiness.
no incidents scheduled research ops routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized intrusion or equipment failure requiring MTF response, limited repairs, and temporary research slowdown.
sensor tampering small breach/lockdown localized equipment replacement
🚨 Major Breach $6.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or large-scale site incident requiring multiple MTF deployments, major repairs, public/legal response, and large replacement costs.
full vault compromise extended public exposure large-scale recovery operations
🚨 Research Scale Up $6.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Authorized large-scale research/expedition campaign (many probes, extended telemetry builds, or major physics array deployment) causing substantial one-off and recurring program costs.
leadership-approved scale-up major cross-site experiments large probe deployment

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges for most costs, allowing a reasoned estimate, but many items have wide ranges (property buyout, contingency, large-scale physics programs) and environmental/operational uncertainty—hence medium confidence.
