Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.3M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no reproduction beyond allowed limits and no public exposure.
routine containment no reproduction event no public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $4.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small unauthorized reproduction or minor containment incident requiring overtime, limited field response, and extra disposal.
localized reproduction over limit small escape contained on-site limited incineration/disposal
🚨 Major Breach $5.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or reproduction leading to extensive field eradication, mass incineration, emergency medical response and large operational surge.
escape outside facility widespread reproduction extensive field eradication operations
🚨 Political Exposure $5.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Public or political exposure requiring heavy legal/PR response, large cover-up payouts, and possible facility quarantine/legal fees.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and midpoints; many line items have wide uncertainty (site adaptation vs full buildout, outbreak scale, staffing model) so medium confidence is assigned.
