⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.7M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine staffing, fuel, research, maintenance and reserves only.
steady containment operations no public exposure routine research cadence
🚨 Minor Incident $5.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized incident: trespasser confrontation, vehicle-blocking by SCP-1362-1, small contamination or several detentions requiring extra mobilization and media suppression.
trespassers/vehicle blockade several detentions/amnestics limited contamination requiring targeted remediation
🚨 Major Breach $7.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or environmental contamination requiring large-scale remediation, international diplomatic/legal action, extended mobilization and contractor hires.
mass civilian exposure major soil/atmospheric contamination international media or diplomatic incident

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed component ranges and dominant cost drivers (Greenland logistics, staffing, fuel), but substantial variability remains from site-access modality, fuel/transport price volatility, frequency of public contact, and contingency activations; hence medium confidence.
