⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $13.3M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady containment, routine monitoring, and no major incidents.
no breach limited research progress routine quarantine operations
🚨 Minor Incident $15.8M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Localized outbreak or spike in anomalous activity requiring short-term surge response, intensified testing and limited additional quarantine enforcement.
localized spread outside boundary small cluster of SCP-1627-B sightings short-term escalation of quarantine
🚨 Major Breach $33.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Large-scale outbreak or containment failure requiring prolonged quarantine, large remediation effort and potential town buyout/relocation and demolition.
widespread SCP-1627-B spread failure of perimeter containment necessity of town buyout/large remediation
👥 Personnel 75 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 50 [#1] Fifty armed personnel required for 24/7 perimeter security (rotations included).
Shift Supervisor / Security Supervisor 5 [#2] Supervisory staff to manage shifts and coordinate security operations.
Medic / Medical Officer 2 [#2] On-site medics to support personnel and handle exposures/trauma.
Communications / Comms Staff 3 [#2] Radio/comms operators and monitoring staff for perimeter and field teams.
Administrative Staff 5 [#2] Payroll, recruiting, and administrative support for site operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item ranges and site-specific variables (terrain, town population/property values, duration of quarantine) create uncertainty. Core operational categories (security, labs, monitoring) are well-defined, but major capital choices (buyout vs. in-place remediation) drive wide variance.
