⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.6M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous containment operations, monitoring and routine maintenance but no major incidents.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing a reasoned midpoint estimate, but the object's unpredictability (spontaneous blizzards) and contingent litigation/contingency needs introduce substantial uncertainty in incident frequency and scale.
