🚨 Major Breach $1.3M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or large-scale manipulation requiring full rapid-response deployment, major repairs, and legal/PR effort.

🚨 Research Scaleup $1.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Decision to expand characterization program significantly or to implement an immersive simulated workplace to manage the subject's belief system.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#3, #4] 1 primary escort + 2 trained backups to ensure daily escort coverage, vacations and on-call coverage.
Program Manager / Administrative Staff 1 [#21] Mid-level containment/program manager to coordinate experiments, procurement and compliance (salary included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing a structured estimate, but uncertainty remains about SCP-1915's effective radius, frequency/severity of manipulations, and whether immersive containment measures will be required; these drive medium confidence.
