🚨 Minor Incident $798K/yr
6.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized incident such as injury to staff, minor containment breach requiring emergency response, medical care, and limited repairs.

🚨 Major Disposal Requirement $1.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Discovery that remains require specialized anomalous disposal/engineering (secure incineration/engineered burial) with large one-time cost.

Role Count Notes
Animal Technician 2 [#5] Full-time handlers for daily husbandry (2 FTE as budgeted).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#5] Minimum 24/7 security rotation (3 FTE minimal coverage as budgeted).
📋 Confidence Notes
Recurring operational costs and staffing are well-specified; large uncertainty is driven by the anomalous disposal/neutralization expense and how SCP-2282's internal mass issue would be handled, producing substantial variance in one-time costs.
