⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.7M/yr

65.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine monitoring, training, two expected containment deployments and no major public breach.

routine monitoring operations expected small/medium incidents handled per plan

🚨 Minor Incident $4.8M/yr

30.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline

One escalated but contained major local event (regional championship / media attention) requiring expanded PR/legal and higher medical/amnestic burn.

regional championship increased media attention larger audience requiring broader amnesticization

🚨 Major Incident $5.7M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline

Large-scale event or partial containment failure with deaths/disappearances or national media exposure requiring emergency multi-team mobilization and large legal/PR & forensic expenses.

mass audience (>1000) or national media exposure fatalities / disappearances widespread forensic/legal escalation

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use midpoints from wide ranges given in analyst notes and assume a two-incident-per-year baseline cadence; uncertainty is driven by incident frequency, severity (deaths/disappearances) and regional cost variance, producing moderate confidence.
