Expected annual
$16.8M
One-time setup
$12.4M
Annual recurring
$15.6M

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $15.6M/yr
64.5% probability / year
Normal year with planned distributed operations and no major containment incidents.
routine operations no large breach
🚨 Minor Incident $17.1M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized Behavior 5211/TEREBRO event or single-site breach requiring MTF deployment and limited litigation/cleanup.
single-site activation/hijack small-scale maiming/consumption localized breach response
🚨 Major Breach $25.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Multi-site breach or extended Failure of memetic mitigation requiring major containment modifications, mass disposals and significant legal exposure.
coordinated multiple-site activations extended memetic propagation large-scale property/casualty claims
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $65.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges enabling mid-range estimates, but significant uncertainty remains in incident frequency, degree of required blast-hardening, and ultimate behavior of the Gestalt; costs therefore use conservative midpoints.
