⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.3M/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled maintenance, and no major incidents.
no_breach routine_maintenance planned_research
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized breach or aggressive instance event requiring targeted cleanup, limited medical treatment and partial equipment/panel replacement.

🚨 Major Incident $5.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring large repairs, multiple medical evacuations, replacement of major systems, and legal/PR payouts.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $14.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Site-scale loss of containment, mass casualties or loss of facility requiring full rebuild, large legal settlements and long-term program scale-up or termination costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and map each numbered note to cost categories; uncertainty remains around incident frequencies, contingency replenishment policy, and exact vehicle/asset counts so confidence is medium.
