🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, legal action, relocation/support for affected ex‑staff, and heavy PR/legal costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are specific (equipment, staffing, reserves) enabling reasonable mid-range estimates, but wide price ranges, local property variability, and uncertainty about use of central labs vs. on-site labs reduce confidence.
