#### Formulas Used

Per-Violation Regimes (OSHA, HIPAA, SEC, ADA, FLSA): Base Penalty = (Min + (Max − Min) × Severity Factor) × Number of Violations Duration Escalation = Base × min(1 + floor((days − 30) / 30) × 0.10, 3.0) [if duration > 30 days]

Daily Penalty Regimes (EPA, FTC): Base Penalty = Daily Rate × Severity Factor × Duration (days) × Number of Violations

GDPR (Revenue-Based): Base Penalty = max(Revenue × Severity %, Statutory Floor) × Number of Incidents Capped at 2% / €10M (Tier 1) or 4% / €20M (Tier 2) of global annual turnover.

Final Adjusted Penalty: Final = Base × Cooperation Factor × Prior Violation Multiplier × Organization Size Factor
