Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.6M/yr
95.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major containment incidents; routine operations, research, and maintenance only.

🚨 Minor Incident $6.1M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$450K vs baseline
Localized contamination or small transfer error requiring targeted replacements, overtime response, and modest legal/cleanup expenses.

🚨 Major Breach $9.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Significant destabilization event causing damage to electronics/manufactured materials across facility requiring large replacements, extended research interruption, extensive recovery, and public mitigation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#4] 24/7 physical security staffing (6 full-time guards covering 3 shifts).
Research Scientist 10 [#13] Research team (PIs, postdocs, technicians) dedicated to interpreting SCP-033 and running R&D projects; headcount estimated from research staff budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable ranges, but many items (R&D outcomes, incident severity, endowment sizing) have wide ranges and contingent variability; hence medium confidence.
