⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.6M/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine testing cadence, no major containment breaches; recurring operations proceed as budgeted.
no breach steady testing routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $7.9M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident (small external exposure or an unusually costly test) causing extra HAZMAT, medical and PR/legal work but no structural loss.
small public exposure additional HAZMAT cleanup several casualties/survivors needing care
🚨 Major Breach $10.6M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Containment failure requiring emergency demolition/removal, large-scale remediation and high legal/settlement costs.
mass exposure decision to raze/remove structure major legal/settlement actions
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $9.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Research opportunity or operational need forces rapid scale-up: new lab space, hiring and expanded testing/program costs.
promising mitigation research need for expanded laboratory capacity funding reallocation to clinical trials

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item ranges and clear drivers (security payroll, forensic disposal, PR/legal), enabling moderate confidence; however large variance in site acquisition costs, uncertain testing frequency and casualty rates make several estimates variable.
