⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.0M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine inoculation/booster operations, monitoring, research and contingency reserves intact.
no major outbreak routine inoculation campaigns regular ORWELL detections
🚨 Minor Incident $10.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Limited outbreak localized to a subset of staff requiring increased amnestic administrations, extra forensic restoration and ORWELL tuning.
cluster of Alpha infections dozens of additional amnestic treatments moderate database remediation
🚨 Major Breach $16.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
Large-scale outbreak / major retroactive edits requiring mass amnestic deployment, multi-site remediation, heavy legal/settlement costs and full contingency drawdown.
widespread Alpha propagation multiple site contamination mass fatalities and legal exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide granular line items and ranges but are order-of-magnitude estimates; memetic effects and infection frequency are uncertain so numerical selections are midpoints and subject to significant variance.
