Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$8.8M/yr
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, maintenance, research and no containment breach.
no breach
routine research and maintenance
steady staffing levels
🚨
Minor Incident
$9.3M/yr
Localized containment anomaly (small PH3 release, sensor/EM array downtime, or limited field engagement) requiring emergency response, repairs and temporary surge staffing.
small containment breach
equipment failure
limited medical cases
🚨
Major Breach
$13.8M/yr
Significant containment failure requiring island quarantine, evacuation, large-scale medical response, decontamination, contingency fund draw and heavy PR/legal action.
large-scale breach
multiple casualties or epidemiological consequences
international exposure

Confidence Notes
Detailed containment procedures and line-item recommendations provide reasonable grounding, but broad cost ranges, remote-site variables and uncertainties around epidemiological program scale produce moderate confidence.
