Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.0M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful operational year with no major containment incidents; routine operations, maintenance and research continue.
no breaches scheduled maintenance routine rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $11.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$-820000 vs baseline
Localized breach or contamination event requiring MTF surge, repairs, equipment replacement and increased medical/psych costs.
small breach limited equipment contamination localized medical/psychological surge
🚨 Major Breach $22.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$10.7M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or mass conversion event requiring extended MTF operations, major rebuild of jammers/Faraday vaults, large replacement orders and broad remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but several large items have wide ranges (site build, reserve size, power sourcing and incident severity). Midpoint estimates and operational assumptions (charter vs purchase, level of government cooperation) produce medium confidence.
