Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$1.0M/yr
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, research, and surveillance continue.
no major containment failures
routine evacuations only
scheduled maintenance and research
🚨
Minor Incident
$1.2M/yr
Localized equipment failure (e.g., feeder malfunction or ANC outage), small acoustic leakage, or limited personnel exposure requiring incident response and repairs.
automatic feeder failure
ANC or sensor failure
small acoustic leakage requiring PR/legal response
🚨
Major Breach
$2.0M/yr
Significant containment failure, mass vocal surge or large-scale damage requiring emergency construction, large PR/legal response, compensation, and extensive remediation.
catastrophic equipment failure
mass vocal surge or organism escape
major public exposure / regulatory action

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide broad ranges for nearly every line item; many estimates have wide bands (e.g., containment retrofit, reserves, research depth). Mapping and mid-point selections produce plausible totals but uncertainty remains due to staffing assumptions, incident frequency, and institutional reserve policy.
