⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.2M/yr
72.0% probability / year
Normal year with standing readiness, routine maintenance, and no major incidents requiring contingency draws or extraordinary deployments.

🚨 Minor Incident $7.7M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Single notable activation requiring an interception deployment, surge medical/amnestic use, limited remediation and witness handling.

🚨 Major Breach $13.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Large-scale incident/mass exposure requiring emergency contingency spending, large legal/PR response, mass medical/amnestic deployment and extended operations.
