Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$8.7M/yr
Normal year with no major incidents — routine monitoring, suppression, maintenance, and research operations.
low player counts
no containment breaches
routine operations only
🚨
Minor Incident
$9.1M/yr
Localized breach or public clone surge requiring an MTF extraction, limited takedown ops, medical interventions and legal work.
single-server surge
localized staff integration
rapid takedown required
🚨
Major Breach
$19.7M/yr
Significant containment breach or partial site compromise requiring retrofits, major recovery operations, and extended legal/PR response.
site-level breach
multiple integrations
infrastructure damage
🚨
Large Scale Public Exposure
$73.7M/yr
Wide public propagation or mass civilian integrations triggering worst-case societal mitigation and large contingency fund drawdown.

Confidence Notes
Large uncertainties in anchor/grid technology, Site-02 reconstruction likelihood, and the frequency/severity of public propagation produce wide cost ranges; many figures are scenario-driven estimates rather than precise line-item quotes.
