⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.0M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal operational year without major incidents; all recurring programs run as planned.
no breach routine maintenance standard research ops
🚨 Minor Incident $9.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or limited engagement requiring repairs, limited ordnance use, sensor replacements and medical treatment.
minor perimeter breach equipment/sensor damage small ordnance expenditure
🚨 Major Breach $14.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring heavy-equipment mobilization, major repairs, ordnance expenditure, evacuation and disposal operations.
partial containment failure large ordnance/termination operation community evacuations
🚨 Termination Operation $29.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Full-scale termination/escalation using the termination war-chest or contracted heavy ordnance resulting in very large one-off expenditures.
planned termination attempt contracted heavy ordnance massive facility damage

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and plausible mid-range figures, but many items (termination costs, directed-energy procurement, breach frequency) are highly uncertain; thus medium confidence.
