Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
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
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
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
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Multiple simultaneous manifestations across regions requiring full surge activation: temporary observed wards, large-scale transports, expanded mortuary capacity, and heavy legal/media costs.
multi-region spike in signings widespread media exposure simultaneous multiple Stage 4 progressions

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use analyst-provided line items and midpoints where ranges were given; staffing, equipment and media/legal costs are well-specified, but uncertainty remains around outbreak frequency, case load scaling, and object-class contingencies.
