Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$10.3M/yr
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, monitoring, research, and steady-state public relations/legal activity.
steady caseload (~50 subjects/yr)
no multi-site outbreak
no major media exposure
🚨
Minor Incident
$10.5M/yr
Localized breach or exposure requiring limited surge, expedited transports, extra legal/PR response and additional forensic cases.
single-site containment lapse
small breach with local media attention
🚨
Major Outbreak
$15.3M/yr
Multiple simultaneous manifestations across regions requiring full surge activation: temporary observed wards, large-scale transports, expanded mortuary capacity, and heavy legal/media costs.
