⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $11.8M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations and no major incidents.
regular containment operations scheduled research and training no emergency activation
🚨 Minor Incident $12.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring short-term MTF activation, medical response, and limited remediation.
subject agitation requiring emergency sedation localized contamination or small-scale breach short-term quarantine and legal mitigation
🚨 Major Breach $14.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or complex incident requiring full response, remediation, legal action, and additional research effort.
multi-cell breach or prolonged loss of containment extensive residence remediation or public exposure protracted search for SCP-1791-Omega

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided detailed line-item ranges enabling midpoint estimates; however, several recurring allocations (staffing complements, overhead, per-new-instance operationalization) required judgment calls and probability estimates for incidents are uncertain, so confidence is moderate.
