Initial establishment is capital-intensive (major one-time costs driven by a $100M contingency reserve and facility/equipment construction) while ongoing operations are dominated by staffing, aviation/logistics, and contingency set-asides (~$24.45M/year). Main drivers: contingency reserve, aviation & logistics, MTF/security staffing, conservation/rapid-response capability, and archival/research operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $24.4M/yr
93.9% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, surveillance, and scheduled drills only.
no tapestry breaches routine operations only
🚨 Minor Incident $26.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized damage to a small section of the tapestry requiring fast-response repair crews and elevated logistics but Protocol 11-1 succeeds.
small tapestry fracture rapid-response deployment increased helicopter sorties
🚨 Major Breach $49.5M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant structural damage or coordinated sabotage causing large-scale Protocol 11-1 activation, extended repairs, Protocol 10-5 partial activation, and major logistics/archival scaling.
large tapestry collapse sabotage/explosive damage extended repair/archival mobilization
🚨 Catastrophic Ck $124.5M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Protocol 11-1 fails and a CK-class Reconfiguration Scenario occurs, triggering global-scale response, massive recovery and diplomatic efforts.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of wide ranges in analyst notes and include judgment calls about purchasing vs leasing aircraft and the size/speed of contingency set-asides; the CK-class risk is highly uncertain which increases variance.
