⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.9M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with regular bust rotation, planned research, and no major containment incidents.
routine_operations no_major_breach
🚨 Minor Incident $3.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$135K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or dislocation requiring RRT activation, limited international travel, disposal of contaminated busts, and targeted IT/legal remediation.
local_breach rrt_activation limited_it_remediation
🚨 Major Incident $4.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Major museum-level dislocation or public exposure requiring international recovery operations, extensive legal settlements, large PR/countercover campaigns, and emergency facilities/leases.

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes are detailed and allow itemized budgeting, but many line items have wide ranges and the anomalous propagation vectors (digital spread, dislocation to public institutions) create large episodic uncertainties; staffing needs are clearer than per-incident legal/settlement exposure.
