🚨 Minor Incident $30.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized breach, small creature escape, or trespasser event requiring rapid-response, medical/amnestic administration, localized repairs and modest compensation.

🚨 Major Breach $75.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or discovery requiring large-scale construction, major public cover payments, large contingency mobilization, and international legal response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude based on analyst-provided ranges. Many line items have wide ranges (e.g., permanent containment, emergency reserve, compensation strategies) and the selected midpoints/assumptions (e.g., choice of mobile lab vs permanent) drive totals; scenario probabilities are qualitative inferences from SCP class and incident history.
