⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.8M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year of active surveillance, routine R&D, HUMINT, training and maintenance with no major incidents.
no major exposures steady intel collection scheduled training and R&D
🚨 Minor Incident $13.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Localized incident (small public exposure, limited reanimation events or single-site contamination) requiring surge response, cleanup, limited legal/PR actions and temporary logistics surge.
small reanimation cluster limited public exposure targeted legal action
🚨 Major Breach $22.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure / mass reanimation event requiring large-scale medical response, major cleanup, extended surge staffing, and substantial legal/media costs.
mass reanimation event multi-site casualties major public exposure
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $62.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Widespread, highly publicized catastrophe with mass casualties, long-term litigation, international incidents and possible political exposure requiring full contingency mobilization.

📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges and many program options were provided in analyst notes; core recurring drivers (personnel, R&D, HUMINT) are well-identified but per-event costs and required contingency sizing are uncertain due to anomalous behavior and low historical sample size.
