⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr

80.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine maintenance, scheduled surgeries, and no major incidents.

scheduled_surgeries routine_research standard_consumables/maintenance

🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline

Single unscheduled implant failure requiring emergency surgery, parts rush, and overtime.

emergency_implant_failure overtime_staffing expedited_parts procurement

🚨 Major Implant Failure $2.5M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline

Multiple implants fail or accelerated degradation triggers several emergency high-cost surgeries and large parts/fabrication orders.

🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $2.2M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

Reverse-engineering yields actionable designs that require scaling internal fabrication and regulatory/legal work.

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for most categories, but key uncertainties remain around implant failure frequency and GOI dependency, so cost volatility is moderate.
