⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.0M/yr
96.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; containment and research proceed under standard operating costs.
no breaches no civilian exposures routine research and monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$274K vs baseline
Limited leakage or discovery requiring targeted retrievals, amnestic administrations, small legal/PR response and overtime.
small public leak 10s of civilians exposed targeted retrieval operations
🚨 Major Mass Exposure $4.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Widespread distribution of materials requiring mass deployment of containment/retrieval teams, large-scale amnestic administration, emergency PR & legal actions.
mass dissemination 100+ civilians affected large-scale emergency response
