[#25] Placeholder noting that recurring totals scale linearly if incidence interpretation changes (0.2% of whole population vs births) — not a direct recurring line-item here.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.4M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major public exposures or incidence reinterpretation; routine containment, surgeries, follow-up care and R&D continue.
routine_cases (~34/yr) no public discovery no major incidence re-interpretation
🚨 Minor Public Exposure $15.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Limited public exposure or localized breach requiring emergency settlements, litigation, and increased PR/legal response.
leak/whistleblower local media exposure small litigation settlement
🚨 High Incidence Scaling $1.0B/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline
Operational reality where the 0.2% incidence is interpreted as 0.2% of the whole state population rather than births, multiplying case load by ~100.
alternate incidence interpretation (0.2% of population) mass-case load increase (~3,600 cases/yr)

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and derived from explicit analyst line items; many costs (medical throughput, legal settlements, and R&D timelines) are uncertain and some items combine program and salary costs requiring judgment, so overall confidence is medium.
