Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.7M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, operations, and no major incidents.
routine monitoring no major breaches steady research progress
🚨 Minor Incident $6.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$460K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency device replacement, legal escalation, and extra investigation.
compromised camera cluster localized leak or doxxing small legal/PR action
🚨 Major Breach $10.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach / public exposure requiring international takedowns, SIGINT tasking, large sensor replacement, and emergency operations.
widespread public leak active exploitation of multiple sites international legal/technical escalation
