⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $33.0M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, routine interventions, and steady-state detention population (~200).
steady-state infections routine monitoring and occasional small interventions
🚨 Moderate Outbreak $38.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Multiple corporate interventions required in a year (several Procedure-224 rollouts and amnestic operations), increased legal/PR spend and extra MTF deployments.
2-5 corporate infection interventions heightened legal/PR activity extra amnestic operations
🚨 Major Corporate Wave $63.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Large multi-national propagation event requiring widespread corporate restructurings, major buyouts/severance payouts and emergency surge activation.
simultaneous infection across multiple large corporations major legal/cover-up payouts activation of surge reserve and large-scale MTF operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and drivers but key variables (infection prevalence, frequency of corporate-scale interventions, and Foundation-specific amnestic costs) are uncertain; estimates use mid-range assumptions.
