Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine research, maintenance, and no major incidents.
steady-state containment scheduled research and mapping routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $7.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or infrastructure failure requiring limited repair and short-term surge staffing.
localized power outage sensor/network failure small-scale breach or mapping accident
🚨 Major Breach $9.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or thaumaturgic escalation requiring large remedial operations, emergency thaumaturgy, or major remediation.
large thaumaturgic escalation major structural breach widespread system failures

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are low-confidence due to the non-Euclidean interior, thaumaturgical reinforcement, and wide ranges provided; many line items (mapping, thaumaturgy, unknowns premium, contingency reserves) have order-of-magnitude uncertainty.
