🚨 Minor Incident $2.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident: loss of equipment/test payloads, small contamination, brief civilian discovery requiring discrete payments and replacements.

🚨 Major Breach $7.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring deployment of escalation reserve, major legal payouts, emergency research surge, and possible area denial actions.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of provided ranges and documented staffing figures; reasonable accounting of categories but large uncertainties remain (anomalous behavior, true extent of staircase, and escalation severity) so confidence is moderate.
