⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.9M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no containment incidents beyond expected maintenance and training.
no breach routine testing only standard staffing levels
🚨 Minor Incident $3.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment event or public contact requiring targeted amnestic treatments, equipment repairs, and PR/legal response.
civilian trespass detected single small breach or media leak limited equipment loss
🚨 Major Breach $9.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
Significant memetic spread or containment breach requiring large-scale remediation, widespread amnestic campaigns, and major equipment/structural replacement.
widespread memetic exposure structural failure of containment public disclosure event
