⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $404K/yr
83.0% probability / year
Routine year with no large incidents; containment maintained under normal procedures.
no_unexpected_exposures standard_maintenance_and_training
🚨 Minor Incident $444K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$40K vs baseline
One or a few accidental contacts require additional amnestic doses, 1–3 short-term confinements and extra psychiatric follow-up.
accidental_touch multiple_SCP-2291-A_cases
🚨 Major Breach $1.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$700K vs baseline
Effects spread beyond containment requiring mass amnestic deployment, large-scale medical response, MTF mobilization and extensive cover-up.
widespread_exposure mass_amnestic_distribution large_MTF_response
🚨 Research Scaleup $704K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Authorized expanded study/imaging program and associated infrastructure upgrades and increased testing caseload.

Role Count Notes
Class-D Personnel 5 [#4] Rotating pool of 4–6 D‑Class authorized to handle SCP-2291; costs here include housing, food, supervision and turnover processing
Medical Officer 1 [#10, #11, #22] Psychiatric/medical oversight for assessments, amnestic administration, withdrawal treatment and autopsy coordination
Administrative Staff 1 [#18, #3] Senior administrative oversight and permissions time (Dr. Mbeke / site-level sign-off), represented as allocated annual cost rather than full salary burden
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most costs (locker, D‑Class pool, amnestics, overhead) allowing quantitative estimates, but many costs are highly incident-dependent (exposure rates, terminations, research approval) so uncertainty remains.
