⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.7M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, research, maintenance, and cover-up continue as budgeted.

🚨 Minor Incident $4.2M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized follower massing or small containment alarm requiring rapid-response deployment, limited amnestics, and modest remediation/cover-up.

🚨 Major Breach $18.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale cavern remediation, mass amnestics, legal/PR operations and use of contingency reserves.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and based on analyst ranges provided; many items (field remediation, incident frequency) have high variance, but facility and personnel costs are reasonably well-specified.
