Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady containment and no major incidents; routine monitoring, maintenance, staffing and research continue as budgeted.
no_major_incidents routine_equipment_failure_covered_by_budget
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Localized equipment destruction or small containment incident requiring emergency replacement, small-scale MTF response costs, and short-term medical/recovery expenses.

🚨 Major Breach $4.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or escalation requiring full MTF deployment, extensive medical treatment and potentially partial site decommissioning/repair and accelerated research costs.

Administrative Staff 1 [#22, #23] Administrative/cover-story support, liaison, and permit/records management.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided ranges and explicit line items improve estimate quality, but key uncertainties remain (unknown population dynamics of SCP-1355-1, unpredictable equipment-malfunction rates, and possible scaling if subject counts increase), so confidence is medium.
