Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $28.6M/yr
88.9% probability / year
Normal year with planned operations, scheduled entries, routine monitoring and no major incidents.
scheduled entries routine monitoring no containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $30.1M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized incident requiring a retrieval operation, short-term surge staffing, extra legal/cover actions and small repairs.
unauthorized approach / sensor alert localized equipment failure small thermal output contained
🚨 Major Breach $298.6M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$270.0M vs baseline
Containment failure causing significant site damage requiring reconstruction and large-scale emergency response.
partial singularity exit mass thermal damage to Site 53 major reconstruction & medical response
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.7B/yr
0.1% probability / year +$1.7B vs baseline
Large-scale singularity exit causing massive thermal damage to surrounding population and infrastructure.
uncontrolled SCP-1272-06 exit widespread thermal casualties regional infrastructure destruction
👥 Personnel 35 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#7] Rotation/roster for three annual entries and site operations; 24 agents in pool at ~$120k fully burdened each.
Research Scientist 6 [#8] Physics/engineering research staff (senior theorists and applied engineers) priced at ~$200k fully burdened each.
Psychologist / Counselor 5 [#9] Exit counselor(s) and debrief psychologists (4–6 staff; 5 assumed) to cover 24/7 monitoring and debrief duties.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges and clear line-items, enabling mid-confidence estimates for budgeting; large ranges for capital items and highly uncertain breach probabilities (and social/population factors) reduce confidence from high to medium.
