🚨 Minor Incident $432K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$48K vs baseline
Small leak or localized contamination requiring extra cleanup, additional D‑Class sessions, and modest medical follow-up.

🚨 Major Breach $797K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$414K vs baseline
Significant containment failure with site lockdown, large-volume disposal, MTF deployment, extensive legal/amnestic actions and PR response.

🚨 Political Exposure $997K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$614K vs baseline
Information leak or discovery leads to public scrutiny, litigation, extended research scaling and long-term obfuscation costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Medium confidence: analyst notes provide specific line-item ranges allowing reasonable aggregation, but many items are wide ranges (legal, contingency, reserve planning) and depend on Site baseline capabilities and frequency of transfers/incidents.
