Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, periodic recoveries, scheduled experiments, and no major exposures.
routine experiments scheduled field recoveries no major public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $2.7M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Local public appearance or small exposure requiring several urgent field deployments and increased legal/PR activity.
sporadic public discovery small-scale retrievals heightened legal/PR response
🚨 Major Breach $3.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Significant public exposure or multiple simultaneous appearances requiring emergency nationwide/international operations, large legal action, and expanded containment.
widespread media exposure multiple international recoveries large-scale emergency operations
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $2.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Discovery that requires rapid expansion of research capacity and additional containment suites/teams to study increased production or novel behaviors.
new reproducible property found decision to scale experimental program funding for rapid lab expansion

📋 Confidence Notes
Many cost ranges were provided in analyst notes allowing median estimates, but uncertainty remains in the number of suites/vehicles deployed and frequency/severity of international incidents, producing moderate confidence.
