Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $72.6M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major containment escalation; scheduled maintenance, rotations, research and planned burns proceed as budgeted.

🚨 Minor Incident $77.6M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized breach/rapid root encroachment requiring emergency increased incendiary operations, replacement of damaged sensors/vehicles, and limited legal/PR response.

🚨 Major Breach $132.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$60.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing midpoint estimates, but the anomalous nature and wide ranges for many items (land acquisition, contingency needs, escalation scale) limit precision; therefore confidence is medium.
