⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.2M/yr
73.0% probability / year
Normal year with regular monitoring, staff payroll, routine research and 0–1 minor incidents; no activation of contingency reserve.
routine_monitoring low_incidence_activity no_mass_manifestation
🚨 Minor Incident $4.5M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Year with elevated activity: multiple field deployments and 1–3 significant containment operations requiring higher per-event spending, modest legal/liaison surge.
localized_multiple_cases increased_mtf_deployments heightened_legal_liaison
🚨 Major Breach $11.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
Large-scale or mass manifestation requiring activation of contingency reserve, emergency large-site containment, mass medical support and large public-exposure mitigation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed ranges for most line items enabling mid-point budgeting, but high variability exists in per-event costs, research timelines, and the low-frequency/high-impact nature of anomalies; contingency needs add uncertainty.
