Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.9M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, research and monitoring activities proceed as planned.
routine operations scheduled maintenance normal research throughput
🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized exposure or small containment lapse requiring medical treatment, decontamination, overtime and limited external response.
localized exposure minor containment breach limited medical response
🚨 Major Breach $7.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or exposure involving high-consequence pathogens (e.g., smallpox/plague) requiring large-scale response, external public-health coordination and use of contingency funds.
major containment breach cross-facility exposure regional public-health response

📋 Confidence Notes
Detailed analyst notes allow a bounded estimate for equipment, staffing and recurring research; uncertainty remains around breach probabilities, scale of external public-health responses, and future discovery rate of novel pathogens, so confidence is medium.
