⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.3M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine containment activity (amnestics administered per policy, regular MTF ops, ongoing research and monitoring) and no major incidents.
routine Contact Events scheduled research and maintenance standard MTF deployments
🚨 Minor Incident $4.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized public-facing Contact Event requiring extra legal/PR expenditure, additional amnesticizations, overtime, and limited replenishment of reserves.
high-visibility Contact Event multiple witness amnestic administrations short-term legal/settlement costs
🚨 Major Breach $6.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or high-profile exposure requiring mass amnestic operations, large legal settlements, hospitalizations, and major reserve replenishment/containment upgrades.
widespread media exposure multiple casualties/hospitalizations requirement for mass amnestic operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and recommended midpoints; major uncertainties remain about whether Protocol Foxtrot-44 is primarily non-invasive (amnestic/drug-based) or requires invasive surgical extraction and how often high-visibility Contact Events occur. Where the brief left alternatives, both one-time and conditional recurring lines were included; accuracy depends on these unresolved technical details.
