⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $29.2M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major containment incidents; standard excavation, research, logistics and cover-up activities continue.

🚨 Minor Incident $30.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Localized increase in civilian exposure or a small-scale containment lapse requiring emergency response, additional amnestics and legal engagement.

🚨 Major Breach $39.2M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or sustained public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, litigation defense, and major operational surge.

🚨 Political Exposure $49.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Discovery or credible political pressure results in aggressive investigations, buyouts, large compensations and expanded PR/legal costs.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $79.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Full loss of containment, mass exposure or catastrophic legal/environmental outcome requiring major national-level response and full decommissioning.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit ranges for most line items allowing mid-point estimates, but uncertainty remains due to memetic effects, island logistics, and optional capital choices (e.g., aircraft purchase vs charter). Unpredictable breach/event probabilities further lower confidence.
