🚨 Major Breach $31.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or public exposure requiring large-scale legal, amnestic, and containment operations and sustained media/PR response.

🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $506.3M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$500.0M vs baseline
Widespread or civilization-level exposure necessitating national/international covert operations, prolonged censorship, strategic force projection and use of catastrophic contingency funds.
