⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.8M/yr

90.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with no significant breaches or mass exposures; routine monitoring, research, and cover-story maintenance continue.

routine_monitoring no_public_exposure no_major_incident

🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr

8.0% probability / year +$700K vs baseline

Localized civilian discovery or small containment lapse requiring extra amnestic administrations, PR response, and overtime.

🚨 Major Breach $14.8M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline

Significant containment failure requiring emergency relocations, mass amnestic campaigns, heavy PR/legal payouts, and potential new-site construction or large-scale transport operations.

📋 Confidence Notes

Notes provide many line-item ranges and explicit per-item estimates, allowing a reasoned aggregation; uncertainty remains due to wide ranges on R&D/new-site construction, local bribery/legal needs, and the unpredictable frequency/severity of public exposures.
