⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.5M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major containment incidents; routine operations, monitoring, and planned experiments only.
no breach routine monitoring planned trials only
🚨 Minor Incident $7.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Limited containment breach or notable public exposure requiring short emergency deployments, temporary relocations, overtime, limited amnestic use, and repair.
small breach targeted cult activity limited emergency amnestic deployment
🚨 Major Breach $10.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline
Large-scale containment failure or widespread prophetic exploitation requiring multi-agency response, mass amnestics/relocations, major repairs and legal settlements.
major breach mass public exposure large-scale cult mobilization

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item estimates for almost every cost element, enabling a medium-confidence sum; remaining uncertainty is driven by unknowns in incident frequency/severity, contractor vs. FTE mixes, and site-specific variation in acquisition/retrofit costs.
