Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with ongoing operations, research, and routine maintenance but no significant containment incidents.
no breaches routine experiments scheduled maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized containment incident causing medical treatment, small-scale decontamination, investigation, and modest repairs.
injury to D-Class or staff small mirror fragment contamination limited public exposure requiring amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $2.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant breach requiring extended MTF deployment, large-scale decontamination/repairs, possible temporary shutdown, and legal remediation.
multiple injured or missing subjects extensive mirror damage noticeable public exposure
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $5.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Full containment failure or public exposure necessitating demolition, major remediation, large settlements, and long-term program scaling.
widespread civilian exposure structural loss or mass contamination major litigation or regulatory intervention

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing mid-point estimates, so operational cost drivers are reasonably well identified; however anomaly-driven incident frequency and severity are unpredictable, and large contingency/reserve items dominate one-time uncertainty.
