Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $311.8M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major breaches: steady-state containment and scheduled maintenance/ops.
no breaches routine maintenance ongoing R&D and monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $331.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Localized breach or withering event causing limited civilian exposure and asset damage requiring regional emergency response and replenishment.
localized perimeter breach single-site withering event limited fighter/AWACS sortie and compensation payouts
🚨 Major Breach $811.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500.0M vs baseline
Widespread containment failure requiring large-scale military responses, use of contingency funds, international coordination and heavy replacement of assets.
multiple-site breaches loss of multiple sensors or air assets large civilian casualties requiring major payouts

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide broad ranges and a detailed containment plan, but many line items (satellites vs HAPS, number of SAM batteries, leased vs owned aircraft, exact staffing models) have wide uncertainty; estimates are mid-range and subject to order-of-magnitude variance if design choices change.
