⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.6M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, scheduled research, screening and no major incidents.
routine_screening_and_research no_incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $10.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized accidental contact or small containment incident requiring emergency screening, amnestic administrations, an MTF deployment and modest legal/PR response.
accidental_contact localized_exposure single_deployment
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $24.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Major public exposure or large-scale leak requiring mass amnestic operations, broad MTF deployments, relocation, heavy legal settlements and full contingency execution.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: analyst notes provide many line-item ranges and clear cost drivers, but several major items (research scale, contingency reserve usage, frequency/severity of incidents) are highly uncertain and scenario-dependent.
