⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $14.9M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine monitoring, scheduled training, research and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $16.1M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$1.1M vs baseline
One-year active Hunt or localized breach requiring rapid deployment, extended medevac, extra amnestics and PR/legal surge.
Active Hunt requiring urgent MTF deployment Localized streaming exposure needing takedowns and targeted amnestics
🚨 Major Relocation Or Mass Exposure $20.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Relocation event or mass exposure that triggers large-scale relocation/rebuild, major PR/amnestic campaign, extended R&D and interstate legal/diplomatic action.
Relocation Event requiring full redeploy/rebuild Major viral exposure / platform-wide broadcast requiring mass amnestics and PR

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a mid-range estimate; however, frequency of Hunts/Relocation Events and policy choices (own vs charter aircraft, level of diplomatic buy-in, aggressiveness of takedowns) introduce substantial variance, so confidence is medium.
