⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.4M/yr

75.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine operations and expected averaged incident-related costs; no large-scale containment failures.

SRAs_operational no_major_breach routine_deployments_only

🚨 Minor Incident $9.7M/yr

20.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline

Single localized breach requiring MTF deployment, MRC dispatch, targeted international/legal/PR actions and higher-than-average amnestic/operational surge costs.

single_anchor_failure localized_breach MTF_deployment

🚨 Major Breach $24.4M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline

Multiple simultaneous or prolonged hunts, anchor unreliability leading to sustained international operations, large PR/legal/litigation/contingency spending.

📋 Confidence Notes

Many line items (especially SRA procurement, reserve sizing, and incident frequency/scale) have wide, proprietary or scenario-dependent ranges; estimates use midpoints and analyst assumptions so uncertainty remains high.
