⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine alpha events, no major incidents; regular staffing, research, and analysis budgets in place.
regular alpha events managed per SOP no emergency transfers research progresses at planned rate
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
A medically significant Alpha Event requiring ambulance transfer, external surgical intervention, and additional lab/pathology work.
severe extrusion requiring surgery unexpected transfusion complications
🚨 Major Medical Emergency $1.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
A major medical crisis (multiple surgeries, prolonged hospitalization, significant facility repairs) in a given year.
catastrophic extrusion complications facility damage requiring structural repair
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Discovery necessitates rapid scale-up of R&D (expanded trials, new lab hires, specialized equipment procurement).
promising countermeasure identified regulatory/ethical approvals accelerate hiring and equipment purchases

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes and ranges are detailed and map to specific line items, but many estimates are wide (particularly lab analysis, R&D, and pathology sampling). Subject matter uncertainty (frequency/severity variability, decisions on sample-cataloguing policy) lowers precision.
