⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.2M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with assumed medium-frequency event rate and no major exposure/breach; includes regular deployments, monitoring, research and per-event costs aggregated.
6 medium-scale events/year no viral streaming or national media exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $15.2M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
A single large/viral event causes expanded amnestic campaigns, elevated PR/legal spend and additional long-term monitoring.
viral livestream large audience >500 partial containment failure
🚨 Major Breach $27.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Nationwide or high-visibility breach requiring national-level response, use of emergency reserve, mass amnestic operations, and major legal/settlement costs.
