⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.4M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine containment, monitoring and modest research operations.
no breach routine research ops standard maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized breach or contamination event requiring rapid-response, small repairs, extra legal/medical actions and temporary research slowdowns.
small perimeter breach local exposure requiring amnestics short-term equipment replacement
🚨 Major Breach $6.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large-scale containment failure or public exposure requiring extensive recovery, litigation, major repairs, high-level research emergency and large contingency drawdown.
major public exposure/FOIA event multi-personnel casualty or prosecution significant infrastructure loss

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items (temporal instrumentation, long-term research seed, contingency for unknown temporal incidents) have wide ranges and high uncertainty; estimates use midpoints and conservative assumptions.
