⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $933.0M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major manifestation or large-scale breach; routine operations, readiness, and program maintenance only.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.0B/yr
10.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Localized manifestation or limited engagement where JTF responds, limited casualties, short disinformation campaign and localized cleanup.

🚨 Major Breach $1.9B/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline
Significant manifestation resulting in multiple high-profile deaths requiring full activation of cloning programs, long-running disinformation, large contingency payouts and large-scale cleanup and political operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most categories, but several major programs (cloning, advanced counter-anomaly R&D, disinformation campaign durations) are speculative with wide ranges; cost allocations and scenario probabilities are therefore approximate.
