⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
65.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine containment, scheduled research and training, no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.5M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Single-host designation or localized residential contamination requiring a single retrieval, modest remediation and amnestic/legal work.

🚨 Major Incident $3.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Multi-host event or large public exposure requiring mass remediation, mass amnestic deployment, major legal settlements, and possible short-term escalation measures.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for capital and operating costs, but many costs are event-driven and contingent on unpredictable host-designation/dematerialization behavior and breach frequency; estimates use midpoints and judgment for incident frequency, so uncertainty remains moderate.
