steady monitoring localized incidents only no major media exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $44.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized cluster(s) requiring additional field deployments, targeted amnestic campaigns, and modest legal/forensic response.
single fatality or small cluster regional social-media spike localized library/school outbreak
🚨 Major Outbreak $103.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$60.0M vs baseline
Large-scale spread or high-profile exposure requiring mass amnestic deployment, national buyouts, major legal settlements, and reserve drawdown.
