Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled research activity, and no major containment incidents.
no escapes no major deployments routine research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring MTF deployment, moderate repairs, targeted legal/cover expenditures and temporary staffing increases.
safety-call failure small escape or localized damage single MTF deployment
🚨 Major Breach $3.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or activation causing heavy facility damage, multiple deployments, animal losses and large public mitigation/legal costs.
multi-instance escape facility structural damage extended MTF operations & public exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes include detailed line items and ranges enabling a reasoned estimate, but many items have wide ranges (construction, reserves, research scale, incident frequency) and some costs are scenario-dependent, so precision is limited.
