⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.0M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major incidents beyond expected audits and maintenance.

🚨 Major Breach $3.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Coordinated replica attack leading to site takeover, large-scale reclamation, MTF deployment and site rebuild/containment operations.

🚨 Political Exposure $2.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Public manifestation of replicas within the one-mile radius leading to law-enforcement involvement, witness relocation and major public misinformation efforts.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for equipment and staffing, supporting the tallies; however probabilities for replica-triggered incidents and scale of public exposures are inherently uncertain, so confidence is medium.
