Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing operations, research, monitoring, and remote-enclosure upkeep only.
steady operations routine monitoring no accidental mass exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized accidental exposure or small containment incident requiring medical surge, emergency response, limited replenishment of emergency reserves and short research/time-limited remediation.
single accidental staff exposure robot failure leading to temporary manual remediation small local spike in SCP-2108-B instances
🚨 Major Breach $5.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Large-scale positive-feedback event where many SCP-2108-B instances are created requiring mass containment, remote facility scale-up, large-scale decontamination, emergency replacement of equipment and sustained legal/cover operations.
mass SCP-2108-B conversion positive feedback-driven growth correlated external event (solar/geomagnetic/Corvus aggregation)

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges; however uncertainty remains in site acquisition cost, the number of remote enclosures required, the frequency/severity of nonlinear breach events and staffing scale, so figures are mid-range estimates.
