⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $58.9M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, no major incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, and influence operations only.
no major breaches stable political control routine maintenance cycles
🚨 Minor Incident $61.9M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Localized breach or exposure requiring targeted MTF response, limited amnestic deployment, forensic cover-up and PR/legal action.
localized containment breach unauthorized candidate wins small structural failure in nexus
🚨 Major Breach $133.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$75.0M vs baseline
Large-scale exposure, mass public discovery, or major structural failure requiring large emergency fund drawdown, prolonged MTF/repair operations, and major public mitigation.
mass disclosure/exposure repeated failed cover operations major structural collapse or nexus-wide failure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges for most line items and describe program sensitivity to scale (size of nexus, degree of corporate buyouts, and frequency of kinetic operations). Estimates combine specified ranges with representative mid/high choices; uncertainty about political frequency, exact staff scale, and rare high-cost operations keeps confidence at medium.
