⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.3M/yr
95.5% probability / year
Normal year with daily escorted excursions, ongoing Project Inanna operations, routine monitoring and no major incidents.
routine_operations no_incident
🚨 Minor Incident $3.5M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized contamination or a short-term spike in emissions requiring temporary isolation, additional decontamination and overtime.

🚨 Major Remediation $5.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
High-intensity emission event or breach that contaminates multiple facilities or the grove, requiring large-scale remediation, regulatory fines, and potential legal settlements.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed categories and ranges, allowing reasonable mid-point estimates; however large uncertainties remain around covert ops/legal exposure, potential escalation to Keter-level upgrades, and remediation costs, so confidence is moderate.
