⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with typical monitoring, takedowns, MTF readiness and routine research activity (no major mass manifestation).
routine discoveries regular takedowns planned research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Year with several higher-profile or contested incidents that increase legal, PR, and operational response costs above baseline.
multiple contested takedowns several high-profile uploads increased legal/PR activity
🚨 Major Mass Manifestation $6.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
A viral mass performance under moonlight triggers many simultaneous manifestations (stadium/public square) requiring large-scale emergency response and mass amnestic deployment.
viral stadium/public performance mass simultaneous manifestations large-scale evidence seizure and mass amnesticization

📋 Confidence Notes
Cost inputs are detailed and many line items have explicit estimates, but several items (manuscript acquisition, contingency use, incident frequency) have wide uncertainty ranges and scenario-dependent choices; hence medium confidence.
