⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $18.9M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with no new incidents; ongoing monitoring, skeleton crew and program-level recurring costs only.
no new incidents continuing mothball operations standard monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $21.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$2.1M vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency lockdown, jettison/hatch repairs, forensic response and decontamination but no anchor replacement.
temporary forced entry attempt mechanical/hatch damage short lockdown and forensic response
🚨 Major Repair And Anchor Overhaul $41.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$22.5M vs baseline
Major capital project year: anchor replacement/overhaul, security upgrades, probe development and large contingency spending.
anchor failure detected decision to replace/overhaul anchors capital security upgrade program
🚨 Political Exposure $34.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$15.8M vs baseline
External exposure or whistleblower event triggers site closure, extensive cover operations, legal costs and elevated productivity losses.
public exposure external audit/oversight action large-scale mothballing/relocation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use analyst-provided ranges and representative midpoints but many items (number of anchors affected, leadership choices on retrieval/monitoring, and site size) are uncertain; neutralized status reduces some recurring containment needs but leaves one-time capital and opportunity-cost uncertainty.
