⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, no major breach or program initiation.
no breach no major program initiation
🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Localized exit or contamination event requiring targeted response, limited amnestic use and cleanup.
small containment breach limited civilian exposure localized environmental contamination
🚨 Major Breach $2.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring mass response, large amnestic administration, temporary quarantine facilities and major repairs.
major containment breach mass exposure or public incident extensive site damage
🚨 Exploration Program Initiation $3.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Decision to commence long-term mapping/colonization of the pocket-dimension, triggering program initiation expenditures and higher ops.
approval to initiate long-term exploration funding allocation for habitat/probe program

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most categories (property, security, medical care, R&D), but uncertainty remains around pocket-dimension R&D scale, contingency funding usage frequency, and long-term exploration decisions, yielding medium confidence.
