⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $631K/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled inspections, routine maintenance, and no major incidents.
no major incidents routine operations and research
🚨 Minor Incident $676K/yr
10.0% probability / year +$45K vs baseline
Minor equipment damage or localized contamination requiring repairs, short-term medical follow-up, and modest replacement spending.
animatronic damage during play localized odor/bio event needing cleanup
🚨 Major Breach $926K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$295K vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring MTF mobilization, extended decontamination, equipment replacement, and external contracting.
major unit destruction widespread contamination or persistent emissions
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$795K vs baseline
Severe escalation requiring site-level response, long-term remediation, potential site modifications or decommissioning.
uncontained anomalous spread major structural or environmental remediation needed

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst line items and site assumptions but rely on uncertain frequency/severity of anomalous behaviors; contingency sizing and personnel costs are approximate.
