All figures reflect post-treatment costs only — after treatment ends, not during active treatment. Path A and Path B are mutually exclusive; every survivor follows exactly one. Path B combines re-integration, delayed return, absenteeism, and presenteeism as a single per-survivor figure — not stacked independent events. Caregiver costs represent a separate employee population. The productivity-loss range and exposure reduction are example assumptions you can edit. Results are illustrative estimates, not guarantees.
