⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.7M/yr
58.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with standard incident tempo covered by recurring budgets; no major escalation or eradication program initiated.
routine incidents (~dozens/yr) no major public outbreak standard MTF deployments
🚨 Minor Incident $11.2M/yr
40.0% probability / year +$550K vs baseline
Year with a localized spike of several high-impact incidents requiring elevated cleanup, amnestics, travel, and small-scale reimbursements.
cluster of regional vending-machine outbreaks increased emergency deployments higher amnestic/cleanup usage
🚨 Major Outbreak $33.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$23.0M vs baseline
Large-scale outbreak or policy decision to initiate eradication/mass-removal campaign requiring contingency and program-level spending beyond normal budgets.
decision to launch eradication program widespread multi-city reproductive events major public panic requiring mass mitigation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of ranges provided in analyst notes and assume incident frequencies suggested (e.g., ~50 incidents/yr). Many line items (amnestic counts, incident counts, decision to eradicate) are highly variable, so totals are approximate.
