⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine research, monitoring, training and containment operations only.
no breaches routine research activities standard containment maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $6.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Localized containment escape or theatre incident requiring targeted legal/PR action, additional medical responses and expedited travel/deployment.
small containment breach local theatre disruption targeted litigation/medical response
🚨 Major Breach $25.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Full-scale, multi-jurisdictional escape requiring extensive international rapid-response, legal/PR campaigns, and tapping major contingency funds.
widespread exposure multiple casualties international deployment

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are given as wide ranges and depend on ambiguous technical details (rhodium plating thickness, composition of warding salts, scale of global liaison network). Several large contingency and incident items are highly discretionary. This produces low confidence in precision, though order-of-magnitude estimates are supportable from the analyst notes.
