🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized reification(s) or small containment event requiring extra surgeries, overtime, incineration and targeted skin replacement.

🚨 Major Breach $7.1M/yr

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#19] 24/7 perimeter/site security roster (aggregated salaries included in staff_wages).
Research Scientist / Scientific Oversight 3 [#29] Scientific oversight and policy enforcement staff (2–4 FTE range in notes).
Technician (Containment / Pathology) 6 [#11] Daily inspection workforce / pathology technicians (2 per shift accounting for redundancy across shifts).
Medical Officer / Surgical Team 2 [#12] On‑call surgical specialists and OR readiness baseline staffing.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many costs are range estimates and depend strongly on policy choices (in‑house vs contractors), degree of automation, and how strictly the 5 km exclusion is enforced; SCP anomalous behavior introduces uncertainty but containment requirements are well specified, so confidence is medium.
