⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
73.0% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled monitoring, routine maintenance, and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Seasonal surge of SCP-1284-2 formation requiring overtime, temporary staff, extra disposal and increased energy use.

🚨 Major Breach $1.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Death or failure of contained instance triggers Protocol 1284-Alpha: field retrieval, emergency transport, high legal/cover costs, and large-scale disposal/containment surge.

🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Significant research opportunity requires rapid scale-up of lab operations and personnel for deeper biological study or clinical trials.

Role Count Notes
Nurse (RN/LPN) 5 [#8] 5 FTE nursing staff to provide 24/7 on-call care, nasogastric feeding and joint-relocation assistance.
Observer / Medical Monitor 4 [#9] Continuous suicide-watch and dedicated observer coverage (medical/security mix) per shift.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#10] Armed/unarmed guards for perimeter and movement operations; staffing to prevent exposure to moonlight during moves.
Content Screener / Administrative 1 [#21] 0.5–1 FTE content screener for manual review of pre-screened media; budgeted as 1 FTE for baseline.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges so baseline recurring and one-time figures are reasonably well-constrained, but significant uncertainty remains for rare surge/breach events, decisions about capital purchases (MRI/incinerator), and future menarche-related incident costs.
