⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
89.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled simulation sessions, routine maintenance, and no major incidents.
regular training sessions routine staffing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized incident: actor-caused emotional breach or equipment failure requiring extra counseling, overtime, small equipment replacement and limited amnestic use.
technical failure during simulation minor emotional breakdown requiring counseling
🚨 Political Exposure $1.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Partial public exposure or leak requiring major PR/legal campaign and scaled reveal planning/mitigation operations for that year.
unauthorized disclosure high-profile local inquiry
🚨 Major Breach $2.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring mass amnestic deployment, emergency relocation, large legal/bribery operations and extended staffing/overtime.
physical breach of containment large-scale public exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item ranges are provided in source analyst notes and permit mid-range aggregation; major uncertainty remains in actor/production model choices, legal/bribery contingency needs, and the scale/frequency of outlier breach events, so year-to-year variance can be large.
