Upfront capital and contingency reserves dominate costs (~$54.6M one-time) while ongoing specialist staffing and research drive recurring expenditure (~$9.0M/yr); major drivers are catastrophic contingency pools, demolition risk, and a multi-disciplinary research program.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.0M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine containment, scheduled research, and ongoing operations with no major incidents.
steady-state containment scheduled research activities no breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $9.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$625K vs baseline
Localized containment event requiring emergency response, amnestic deployments, property claims and repair.
localized breach or collapse public witnesses requiring amnestics local repairs and compensation
🚨 Major Breach $24.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring large-scale mobilization, partial demolition/neutralization and major repairs.
large-scale structural breach extended multi-site response deployment of contingency reserves
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $59.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Worst-case event: large apotheosis/Λ-level breach or loss of a major research site requiring global coordination, orbital strike or full demolition and massive indemnities.
Λ-level/Area loss widespread veil disruption international emergency response

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use analyst-provided ranges and midpoints converted from EUR to USD; many items are explicitly conditional (demolition, heavy enclosure, catastrophic reserves) so while core recurring costs are reasonably bounded, high-end contingent one-time costs are uncertain.
