Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.1M/yr
68.0% probability / year

no major vehicle entries routine testing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Single-vehicle entry requiring emergency response, salvage, forensic work, and modest legal/PR action.
single vehicle active-phase entry one-time helicopter or heavy-salvage operation
🚨 Major Breach $6.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Multiple simultaneous entries or a large, complex active-phase event requiring mass recovery, heavy airlifts, large hazardous disposal, and legal settlements.
multiple vehicle entries mass casualty recovery large hazardous-waste disposal and litigation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $7.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Discovery necessitates rapid scale-up of separation R&D or acquisition of specialized instrumentation and facilities.
