⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $26.8M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled research, monitoring, maintenance, and normal personnel rotations.
normal operations scheduled research campaigns no major emergences or structural damage
🚨 Minor Incident $28.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized emergence or skirmish requiring TF deployment, limited structural/utility repairs, medical treatment and small-scale replacement of equipment.
small-scale emergence(s) localized equipment damage medical treatment and overtime
🚨 Major Breach $41.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or large‑scale emergence requiring contractors, major structural repairs, heavy equipment replacement, legal/PR expenditures and accelerated research response.
large-scale emergence structural collapse or deep subsurface activity major legal/exposure event

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are mid-range order-of-magnitude figures based on the analyst notes; many line items are well-defined (construction, personnel, equipment) but the object's unknown depth, sapience and episodic campaigns introduce substantial uncertainty.
