📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, no major incidents or relocations.
stable community cooperation no major health incidents regular surveillance only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Local spike in medical imaging, short-term legal/PR activity, and limited overtime for response team.
acute medical concern for one or two subjects heightened community attention requiring extra PR/legal work
🚨 Major Relocation $2.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$950K vs baseline
Evacuation/quarantine of affected individuals and households, using contingency relocation fund and temporary facilities.
escalation of phenomenon threatening community court-ordered quarantine or emergency relocation
🚨 Containment Expansion $5.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$3.2M vs baseline
Anomalous activity expands or becomes unmanageable in-town, requiring construction-scale containment and major capital outlay.
expansion beyond five individuals town-level quarantine or new treatment facilities required

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most costs (security, research staff, town subsidies), but large contingency/reserve items and municipal subsidy needs are highly policy-dependent; this yields moderate confidence.
