⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $79K/yr

92.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine inspections, maintenance, and no major incidents.

no incidents routine maintenance periodic imaging/inspections

🚨 Minor Incident $104K/yr

5.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline

Unauthorized or inadvertent operation observed requiring emergency response, extra conservation work and limited PR/legal review.

unauthorized operation small public exposure localized recovery & legal review

🚨 Major Breach $379K/yr

2.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline

Public breach or high-profile exposure requiring extensive recovery, legal action, large PR campaign and operational surge.

public leak high-profile media attention extended legal and PR operations

🚨 Archival Suppression $579K/yr

1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

Decision to execute targeted covert archival suppression/retrieval operations (physical/digital), incurring large one-time covert costs.

sensitive historical data exposure need to remove or alter external records legal/political pressure

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and well-described containment needs, but several large discretionary one-time items (covert suppression, contingency funds, research escalation) introduce significant uncertainty.
