⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $40.4M/yr
74.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine research and containment activities only.
no_breach routine_research standard_transfers
🚨 Minor Incident $45.4M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized containment breach or memetic exposure requiring repairs, limited legal/PR response and temporary increased staffing.

🚨 Major Breach $140.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure producing multiple hazardous items or partial site compromise necessitating major repairs, replenishing reserves and broad mitigation.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.0B/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline
Existential or national-security-level event (stable gates, hostile extradimensional incursion) requiring emergency national response, mass evacuations and multi-billion-dollar mitigation.

📋 Confidence Notes
High uncertainty due to anomalous, reality-warping effects, wide cost ranges in analyst notes, and potential for unquantifiable catastrophic outcomes; many estimates are order-of-magnitude and scenario-dependent.
