⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
65.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with planned maintenance, staffing, monitoring and small consumables usage; no significant combustion incident.
no combustion beyond minor sensor events regular maintenance and training only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.8M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
One minor combustion event or several small endothermic spikes requiring cleanup, investigation and minor repairs.
small spontaneous combustion event limited structural/asset damage hazardous-waste disposal and forensic analysis required
🚨 Major Incident $2.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
A serious spontaneous-combustion event causing significant structural damage, extended medical/claims costs, large-scale cleanup and PR/legal response.
extreme endothermic event / spontaneous combustion significant facility damage and public exposure major medical claims and legal/PR costs

Role Count Notes
Containment Technician 4 [#11] 24/7 containment coverage (4 full-time rotating techs included in wages).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#12] 24/7 guard coverage (6 personnel to staff shifts; wages included).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for capital and recurring items, increasing confidence; uncertainty remains around frequency/severity of combustion incidents, asbestos regulatory outcomes and large claims, so overall confidence is medium.
