⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.5M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major breaches or high-profile incidents; all monitoring, response teams, and cover operations run at steady-state.
routine monitoring scheduled maintenance normal personnel turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $14.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.7M vs baseline
Localized containment/operational incident (small breach, targeted exposure or several simultaneous abductions) requiring additional takedowns, PR/legal response, and emergency deployments.
localized SCP-1243-2 event small public exposure targeted takedown effort
🚨 Major Breach $20.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure (mass abductions, staff captures, high-profile media attention) requiring large-scale legal settlements, expanded R&D and global emergency operations.
large-scale SCP-1243-2 attack governmental/media exposure mass settlements and legal action

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items in analyst notes are given as wide ranges and include discretionary policy choices (scale of global footprint, number of containment cells, level of legal/PR response). Core recurring categories (staffing, safehouses, response teams) are well-identified, but exact magnitudes depend on programmatic decisions and incident frequency, so confidence is medium.
