Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.2M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled monthly operations, routine maintenance, no major incidents or breaches.
no major incidents monthly Operation 7287-S continues routine maintenance and staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $20.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
One or more small-scale incidents (medical/psych events, minor structural repairs, legal/PR response) requiring modest incremental activation of contingency funds and overtime.
simultaneous disappearances causing localized damage medical/psychiatric interventions short-term legal/PR campaign
🚨 Major Breach $29.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment/re-manifestation event with structural damage, broad exposure risk, large legal/PR actions, major emergency operations and accelerated research/decommission activities.
large-scale re-manifestation intersects occupied infrastructure media exposure or jurisdictional incident activation of large emergency/decommission options

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates draw on wide ranges in analyst notes and large technical/operational uncertainty (unknown extradimensional mechanics, variable incident frequency, and optional escalation paths). Many line items are scenario-dependent and could vary by orders of magnitude, so confidence is low.
