🚨 Major Breach $6.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large-scale escalation: mass manifestation, public exposure, legal crisis, or partial breach requiring emergency response and use of contingency funds.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and estimates, allowing a mid-confidence aggregate. Significant uncertainty remains in event frequency/severity, site-specific costs, and the anomalous effects on equipment, so figures (especially contingency sizing and R&D needs) retain notable variance.
