Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.2M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal year with steady containment, no major incidents.
routine operations scheduled research and monitoring no leaks or breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $5.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Low-level exposure, localized leak, small PR/legal response and increased overtime.
local media attention small unauthorized entry minor equipment activation
🚨 Major Breach $7.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant compromise requiring major legal/containment response, clandestine suppression actions and temporary security surge.
coordinated breach attempt public disclosure event sustained memetic propagation
🚨 Extraction Operation $7.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.7M vs baseline
Emergency extraction/move of the assembly from site to secure storage (includes heavy-lift and rapid relocation costs).
imminent discovery hostile seizure attempt local authority intervention
🚨 Restoration Scale Up $20.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Decision/year in which Foundation opts to restore SCP-1345-A to operational capability with full-scale build-out and safety infrastructure.
authorized experimental program O5 approval for activation research breakthrough requiring live testing

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes are detailed and allow a reasonable mid-range estimate, but large ranges on several line items (restoration, extraction, clandestine operations) and memetic behavior introduce substantial uncertainty.
