⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, research, and support activities only.
no incidents scheduled research and maintenance routine training/audits
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$60K vs baseline
Small on-site incident (localized spread, single bystander exposure, minor transport/hospitalization, limited amnestic deployment).
single bystander exposure limited amnestic use short-term quarantine of contacts
🚨 Major Breach $1.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant containment event requiring large-scale response: multiple bystanders, extended quarantine, widespread amnestic deployment, emergency research and logistics.
multiple exposures large-scale amnestic deployment extended emergency operations
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Discovery that warrants rapid scale-up of research capacity (additional instruments, staff hires, shielded test chambers, validation trials).
mechanism identified need for large-scale validation capital equipment purchases

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide many line-item estimates and sensible ranges, enabling mid-point budgeting; however several large ranges (contingency reserve, research equipment, incident severity) and some discretionary policy choices reduce precision.
