⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $15.8M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine events, monitoring and no major exposures or public incidents.
routine Dec25 operations annual research activities no major public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $16.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized exposure or media leak requiring legal/PR response, targeted buy-offs, limited emergency containment and small reserve replenishment.
localized leak small-scale witness exposure limited containment escalation
🚨 Major Breach $23.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or containment failure requiring large-scale legal defense, emergency operations, broad evidence seizure, large reserve drawdown and accelerated research/containment upgrades.
widespread media attention coordinated public breaches large-scale litigation or government involvement

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and programmatic assumptions allowing an informed mid-confidence estimate; remaining uncertainty arises from wide ranges for research/sensor programs, staffing scale choices, and probability of exposure incidents.
