⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.3M/yr

93.9% probability / year

no breach routine research activities standard maintenance cycles

🚨 Minor Incident $13.8M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline

Localized containment incident or biohazard that requires temporary surge staffing, medical care, limited legal/PR response and extra data analysis.

small breach or exposure medical treatment of exposed individuals limited community notifications and legal payments

🚨 Major Breach $20.3M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline

Significant containment failure requiring full mobilization of breach contingency, large-scale quarantines, emergency contractors and multi-jurisdiction legal action.

partial loss of containment multi-subject exposure major legal/relocation costs

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $62.3M/yr

0.1% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline

Large-scale uncontrolled release, mass recruitment or temporality-driven global incident requiring drawing on global risk reserve and multi-year remediation.

widespread loss of containment mass recruitment or rapid spread global-level remediation and relocation
