⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
93.8% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major incidents; recurring costs only.
No breaches Routine disposals and maintenance Planned research and audits
🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$22K vs baseline
Localized containment event: multiple SCP-1030-3 creations within containment requiring extra incinerations, overtime, and small repairs.
SCP-1030-3 animation inside cell Extra incineration/disposal events Temporary overtime and cleanup
🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$747K vs baseline
Significant breach event requiring rapid-response deployment, major repairs, medical treatment, legal/PR expenses and asset replacement.
SCP-1030-3 escape beyond containment Injury/hospitalization Extensive incineration and facility repairs
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $3.6M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Major public exposure or widespread hostile animation event triggering large-scale emergency response, litigation, and long-term remediation.
Public exposure Multiple-site contamination Extended mass-response and litigation
👥 Personnel 8 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#6] Four full-time guards to provide reliable 24/7 coverage (3 shifts + relief).
Security Technician / Monitoring Staff 1 [#7] One FTE electronic monitoring/technician with part-time backup for NVR, cameras and terminal systems.
Research Scientist 3 [#8] One containment lead (senior researcher) and two junior researchers/technicians for periodic study and experiment oversight.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided granular line items and ranges for most costs, enabling reasonable mid-point estimates; uncertainty remains in frequency of disposal events, scale of potential breaches, and choice between on-site vs contracted services, so confidence is medium.
