⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $657K/yr

86.0% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, training, and maintenance only.

no incidents scheduled maintenance routine training

🚨 Minor Incident $687K/yr

12.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline

Localized data-loss / naming mishap requiring targeted amnestic response, extra forensic reconstruction, short-term staff overtime and modest equipment replacement.

DATA NOT FOUND event affecting internal logs staff exposure requiring limited amnestics small-scale equipment replacement

🚨 Major Breach $907K/yr

2.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline

Significant containment breach or external exposure requiring large-scale amnestic operations, media suppression, legal action, and system rebuilds.

public exposure large-scale data loss failed containment leading to external awareness

📋 Confidence Notes

Notes provide detailed line-item ranges but many antimemetic/IT hardening costs have high variance; staff salary bands and AI customization are the largest uncertain factors, and incident probabilities are inferred from limited historical incidents (medium confidence).
