⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine testing cadence and no major incidents.

routine_testing no_breach standard_staff_turnover

🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline

Localized exposure event requiring extra autopsies, additional amnestics/cover-up activity, and replacement hires.

single-site cluster of exposures multiple autopsies & witness amnestics staff replacements

🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline

Significant containment failure or multi-subject exposure causing large-scale emergency response, multi-site transfers, heavy legal/coverup costs and R&D escalation.

multi-subject mass exposure public/police involvement rapid R&D escalation

👥 Personnel 8 total
