⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.4M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; site operates under cover, daily combing continues and routine maintenance/training performed.
routine_operations no_breach no_major_legal_events
🚨 Minor Incident $20.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized contamination, small containment failure, or modest legal/PR discovery requiring targeted remediation and additional legal costs.

🚨 Major Breach $27.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or large-scale hazardous discovery requiring national-level MTF mobilization, major remediation, large settlements and extended investigations.

👥 Personnel 133 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 80 Permanent Task Force Psi-14 staffing to cover 24/7 rotations; headcount derived from allocated security wages [#5].
Civilian Site Staff 20 Plant operators, admin, reception and janitorial required to maintain the cover story and daily operations [#6].
Research Scientist / Containment Technician 33 Scientists, containment techs and lab staff for sorting, testing and cataloging SCP-1330-1 [#7].
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed and map well to standard containment cost categories, but the anomalous and variable nature of SCP-1330-1 items (unknown hazard frequency and severity) creates meaningful uncertainty in contingency and R&D needs.
