⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $228K/yr

88.0% probability / year

Normal year with expected incident rate (assumed ~7 confirmed occurrences) and routine overheads.

5–10 incidents/yr routine training and audits no major exposures

🚨 Minor Cluster $355K/yr

10.0% probability / year +$127K vs baseline

Clustered year with many more confirmed occurrences than baseline (e.g., 15–20 incidents), driving higher amnestic use, staffing, and emergency legal/medical costs.

simultaneous multiple cases local outbreak/cluster higher amnestic usage and overtime

🚨 Public Exposure $428K/yr

2.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline

Accidental disclosure or memetic/legal incident requiring emergency legal, PR, and containment scaling resources.

unauthorized disclosure legal action / media attention emergency memetic containment

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use midpoints of wide analyst ranges and an assumed incident rate (5–10/yr). Per-incident medical and productivity costs are well-described; larger drivers (amnestic stockpile cost, legal retainer choice, lost-research productivity) have high uncertainty, yielding overall medium confidence.
