⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.0M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; steady operations, monitoring, and retainers only.
no major public exposure regular monitoring routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $7.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.4M vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency deployment, SAR, limited demolition/remediation and targeted buyouts/takedown efforts.
localized structural collapse limited public recordings leaked moderate casualties or property damage
🚨 Major Breach $13.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
High-profile destructive event or online transmissible propagation requiring demolition, broad buyouts, long-term containment construction and heavy legal/PR action.
viral online propagation of recordings large-scale casualties or persistent spread need to construct long-term holding and conduct mass buyouts

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst provided detailed line items and ranges making relative cost drivers clear; however many items scale widely with casualty count, public spread, and whether indefinite containment is required, so point estimates retain material uncertainty.
