🚨
Minor Incident
$12.2M/yr
Localized incident such as small subterranean breach, limited contamination event, or recovery/rescue operation requiring emergency fund draw and temporary surge staffing/equipment hire.

🚨
Major Breach
$15.7M/yr
Significant containment failure requiring heavy civil engineering (sealing/re-routing subterranean passages), extended evacuation/medical response, and major asset replacement or lengthy repairs.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, but many items have wide ranges (one-time engineering options, sovereign agreements, breadth of subterranean operations) and anomalous behavior increases uncertainty; medium confidence reflects detailed inputs but significant tails.
