One-time capital and remediation costs dominate (major drivers: town evacuation/relocation, remediation/pump-and-treat, decommissioning and contingency reserve) with substantial recurring program costs for amnesticization, security, research, and medical support. Baseline annual operations are driven by staffing, ongoing monitoring, medical/quarantine operations and research support.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.8M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, containment, research, and personnel operations only.
no breach steady zone extent routine limb events handled by teams
🚨 Minor Incident $13.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized surge in detached-limb activity requiring extra retrieval sorties, increased incineration/disposal events, and short-term surge staffing.
temporary limb activity spike multiple retrieval operations increased incineration/disposal
🚨 Major Breach $37.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant expansion or contamination event requiring large-scale evacuation/relocation, rapid remediation measures (pump-and-treat deployment), and large indemnities.
zone expansion groundwater contamination spread mass limb activity / civilian exposures
🚨 Political Exposure $27.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Public/political exposure or litigation forcing massive amnesticization, legal settlements and reputational/compensation payouts.
media/legal exposure large-scale lawsuits forced buyouts/compensation

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges in analyst estimates (especially evacuation/relocation, remediation, amnestic program size) and uncertainty about long-term behavior of the anomaly reduce confidence. Many costs are scenario-dependent and contingent on political/legal choices; therefore precision is low.
