⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.4M/yr
93.5% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with no major incidents; routine operations, monitoring, and research continue.
routine_operations no_incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $4.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Single accidental death or localized incident requiring emergency response, limited amnestic/PR, and temporary containment of a duplicate.
accidental_death single_duplicate localized_response
🚨 Major Breach $6.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
A breach or hostile event produces multiple duplicates outside secure areas, requiring expanded containment, larger-scale amnestic/PR/legal response and partial contingency drawdown.
hostile_attack multiple_duplicates public_exposure
🚨 Catastrophic Replication $12.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Worst-case mass replication or public death event requiring large-scale mobilization, mass containment, widespread amnestics and major contingency fund usage.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling mid-range estimates, but significant uncertainty remains about contingency sizing, incident frequencies, and exact staffing compositions; probability estimates are judgment calls.
