Hmm, the fancy interoffice memo plan says that participants will be required to put at least $1m in escrow... but it doesn't say those funds are for paying liability or damages to people they hurt!

Instead, it's money to be simply forfeited to the US treasury [0] if the contractor breaks some to-be-determined conditions in not-yet-existing contracts. In other words, its a money-hostage for obedience.

[0] At least, that would be the legal default, but I'd watch carefully to make sure it doesn't somehow get stolen into an Executive Branch slush-fund.
