⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.1M/yr
86.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents.
routine operations monthly rotations scheduled maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $7.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$210K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency response, extra medevacs, limited repairs and replacement equipment.
storm damage requiring repairs small containment/health incident increased evacuation/charters
🚨 Major Breach $9.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or prolonged hazardous behavior requiring extensive repairs, salvage, legal response, and possible temporary relocation.
SCP mobility beyond safe perimeter major equipment loss from storm large-scale contamination
🚨 Relocation Required $27.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Catastrophic scenario where SCP-2255 or conditions force full relocation or construction of secondary containment (execution of relocation).
SCP becomes mobile beyond containment capabilities irrecoverable storm/structural destruction major political exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges enabling a consolidated estimate, but wide ranges on many items (fuel, transport, relocation) and the anomalous, potentially unpredictable behavior of SCP-2255 produce non-trivial uncertainty.
