Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.4M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major breaches; steady staffing, routine maintenance, and standard research/PR cycles.
no breach routine operations stable anomaly activity
🚨 Minor Incident $7.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized containment breach or spike in entity activity requiring surge MTF deployment, extra medevac/amnestics/PR, and limited casualties.
localized breach limited casualties short-term spike in entity activity
🚨 Major Breach $13.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$7.5M vs baseline
Large-scale breach (Event 5936-1 scale) with outpost attack, mass casualties, heavy MTF commitment, large amnestic/mortuary operations, and major containment R&D/PR response.
large-scale breach outpost attack / Event 5936-1 repeat mass casualties and political exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing midpoint estimates; significant uncertainty remains in breach frequency/severity, choice to lease vs purchase air assets, and the scale of containment R&D or reserve usage — hence medium confidence.
