⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; containment operates as planned with routine research and maintenance.
no breaches scheduled research only routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized exposure event requiring counseling, limited legal/cover action, overtime and additional consumables.
single staff exposure small-scale civilian contact limited legal/PR response
🚨 Major Breach $2.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$650K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or multi-person exposure requiring large-scale legal settlements, emergency operations and extended remediation.
multi-person civilian exposure public exposure requiring litigation extended remediation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Research identifies mitigation requiring prototyping and rapid scale-up of specialized hardware and staff.
successful mitigation R&D urgent prototype production expanded research team

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges allowing a constrained estimate, but wide ranges for legal incidents, R&D scale and some one-time choices (custom devices, facility complexity) produce moderate uncertainty.
