⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with steady staffing, monitoring, and research activities; no major incidents or public exposures.
steady operations no anomalous escalation routine monitoring and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
A contained anomalous event or accident during disassembly requiring emergency response, extra forensics, small settlements and PR/legal action.
contained anomalous activation medical casualties requiring triage and forensic work localized PR/legal response
🚨 Major Breach $8.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant anomalous escalation or public exposure leading to large-scale emergency response, major settlements, expanded research/containment and possible rebuild or long-term site operations.
uncontained anomalous propagation mass casualties or high-profile public exposure large legal settlements and scaled-up containment
