⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.3M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major containment incidents; routine drills, maintenance and research proceed as planned.
no breach scheduled maintenance routine research
🚨 Minor Incident $3.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized or short-duration SCP-1101 event requiring quarantine, extra medical/psych support, investigations and limited legal/cover actions.
secondary instance triggered remotely small breach / localized spread short-term lockdown
🚨 Major Breach $6.3M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or prolonged event (necessitating large-scale response, possible use of emergency VX protocol, major legal/cover actions and cleanup).
uncontrolled spread beyond facility event duration exceeds 1 month mass exposure / multi-site spread

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived from detailed line-item analyst notes, but memetic hazards, legal/cover costs, and organizational choices (use of VX vs non-lethal suppression) introduce substantial uncertainty; ranges were collapsed to representative mid/high values.
