⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.6M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year: steady operations, monitoring, small-scale testing, routine takedowns and training with no large public leak.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.9M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized leak or small outbreak (e.g., a school or community exposure) requiring expedited takedowns, targeted amnestics and increased legal/PR response.

🚨 Major Breach $4.6M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
