⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.4M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine maintenance, staffing, mnestic use and intelligence operations; no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $10.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Localized mechanical activation or drone loss causing limited damage, extra mnestic administrations, legal/PR response and modest repairs.

🚨 Major Breach $13.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Significant mechanical defense activation or structural collapse causing casualties, large-scale remediation, replacement of major equipment and public exposure/legal settlements.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many high-uncertainty items (mnestic R&D, long-term inoculation programs, true extent of subterranean works, frequency/severity of mechanical activations) lead to low confidence; estimates use midpoints of wide ranges and conservative scenario probabilities.
