routine monitoring scheduled training and maintenance no large-scale manifestations
🚨 Minor Incident $16.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are synthesized from wide analyst ranges and qualitative SCP behavior; many line items have large uncertainty (R&D outcomes, incident scale, asset counts), so mid-range point estimates are used — reasonable but uncertain.
