⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $209.1M/yr
93.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents: routine research, forward platform operations, scheduled maintenance, and diplomatic/archival activity.
routine ops scheduled deployments ongoing research and archival work
🚨 Minor Incident $224.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Localized hostile contact or technical failure requiring rapid-repair reserves, medevac, targeted amnestic campaigns, limited asset damage and increased diplomatic/legal spending.
sea-borne skirmish / Mekhanite raid moderate equipment failure localized exposure requiring amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $459.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$250.0M vs baseline
Major hostile engagement or political exposure: loss/damage of a major vessel or platform, widescale casualty event, program acceleration (OLYMPIA), emergency replacement and international diplomatic escalations.
large-scale Mekhanite or rival GoI assault major containment breach of SCP-001-KING or related assets public/political exposure requiring large diplomatic payoffs

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items with ranges; however major drivers (number of major vessels retained, extent of OLYMPIA acceleration, and the severity/frequency of adversarial incidents) are uncertain. Many items have wide ranges and contingent, open-ended R&D/thaumaturgic costs tied to anomalous effects (SCP-140/SCP-001 interactions), so estimates are mid-range planning figures with moderate confidence.
