⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $48K/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, no major incidents or extractions.
routine checks no breach standard maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $53K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$5K vs baseline
Small containment issue or equipment failure requiring repairs/replacements and modest incident response.
equipment failure minor breach to locker area replacement mannequin or camera
🚨 Contingency Extraction $108K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
PoI becomes compromised or public risk requires extraction/amnesticization and relocation plus PR response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide concrete line-item estimates for most categories, but several items are ranges and contingencies (extraction/PR) are highly uncertain, so confidence is moderate.
