⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; normal operations, scheduled maintenance, animal feeds, and research activity.
no breach scheduled maintenance routine research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $1.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure, small containment breach quickly contained, increased legal/cover costs and replacement spares.
equipment malfunction small breach or property damage localized biohazard cleanup
🚨 Major Breach $3.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or aggressive breach requiring full rapid-response deployment, major repairs, replacement of containment infrastructure, extended cover-up and possible decommissioning actions.
multi-appendage breach structural damage to hangar public exposure or major casualty

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes give detailed line items with ranges; many costs are well-scoped (construction, staffing) but several anomaly-specific factors (force of appendages, expelled-matter volume, political exposure) and option choices (capital autoclave vs contract disposal, extent of EMP measures) introduce moderate uncertainty.
