⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $11.0M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal operating year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, R&D, staffing and maintenance only.
no major breaches routine monitoring and research
🚨 Minor Incident $11.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$0 vs baseline
Localized incident requiring extra response: decontamination, temporary forensic surge, limited PR/legal actions and replacement equipment.
small-scale Bridge hijack exposure localized leak or evidence removal
🚨 Major Breach $15.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.7M vs baseline
Significant breach or repeated incidents causing international incidents, major forensic reconstruction, widespread cover-up, and temporary program scale-up.
multi-site compromise loss of high-value information requiring reconstruction
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $60.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$49.7M vs baseline
Catastrophic loss of extremely high-value information (treaties, state secrets) causing large-scale political/economic remediation and mobilization of contingency reserves.
consumption of high-value, globally-critical records state-level disclosure or diplomatic crisis

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 9 [#1] Front-line operators in MTF Sampi-6; included in the MTF payroll estimate.
MTF Commander 1 [#1] Command-level position included in MTF payroll estimate.
Support Technician 2 [#1] Technical/support staff included in MTF payroll estimate (equipment, field support).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided rough figures and reasonable assumptions (e.g., 10-site baseline). Many line items are explicitly rough ranges or scale with number/frequency of hijacked Bridges; catastrophic exposures are highly uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
