⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with containment in place, no incidents beyond routine operations.
no activations routine audits and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized activation or small loss event causing limited repairs/medical response and short-term overtime.
small loss event local equipment damage single-person medical observation
🚨 Major Breach $2.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant activation leading to multi-unit response, substantial repairs/replacements, legal action, and temporary testing suspension.
contained breach multiple injuries/facility damage emergency contracting
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $6.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Severe escalation (site-level failures, multiple fatalities, extended recovery and rebuild, wide legal/PR costs).
site-wide power/grid collapse cascading containment breaches large-scale loss events
👥 Personnel 6.5 total

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items and cost magnitudes are well-specified in analyst notes for equipment, staffing, and R&D, but the anomalous nature (probability-displacement effects) and uncertain incident frequency/scale introduce moderate uncertainty in recurring and scenario-cost estimates.
