Compare proportional growth with the 1.466 exponent reported in the AGENESIS-2 simulation. Both scenarios begin at the same normalized cost.

7.63×Fixed monitoring capacity
4.00×Proportional cost growth

Proportional growth

Normalized cost = (portfolio ÷ baseline)1.466. Proportional cost = portfolio ÷ baseline. No currency, actual workload or implementation cost is modeled.

How to read this

Each doubling produces approximately 2.76 times the cost in the fixed-capacity curve and 2 times in the proportional curve. The gap illustrates the reported scaling behavior. It is not a budget forecast or a claim that an individual checking design will achieve these results in production.
