Initial containment and specialized time-reversal infrastructure drive very large one-time capital costs (~$400M), while recurring operations (Class H dosing, antimemetic consumables, specialized research and monitoring) dominate annual spending (~$36.4M/year). Contingency reserves for catastrophic response or decommissioning are major single-shot budget items.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $36.4M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, Class H dosing, scheduled time-reversal sessions and research continue as planned.

🚨 Minor Incident $41.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized equipment failure or small wormhole fluctuation requiring emergency repairs and increased monitoring but no large-scale demolition.

🚨 Major Breach $86.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Partial containment failure requiring MTF deployment, larger repairs, possible site partial-demolition and significant replacement of exotic components.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a structured estimate; however many items have very wide ranges (R&D, contingency reserves, decommissioning) and scenario likelihoods are subjective, so uncertainty remains significant.
