⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
69.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine activations handled by on-site teams and no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.1M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring overtime, equipment replacement, limited external lab analysis, and modest legal/PR work.
equipment_damage minor_injury small-scale mobilization
🚨 Major Breach $2.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant containment event requiring major repair, extended external contracting, replacement of infrastructure, and substantial legal/PR response.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $4.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Severe containment failure requiring evacuation, large-scale reconstruction, emergency international coordination, and major research surge.

👥 Personnel 15 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#7] Continuous 24/7 on-site security (modeled as ~8 FTE to cover patrol schedule, spares, sick leave, and rapid response).
Field Operative / Rotating Containment Team 6 [#8, #15] Rotating containment/research/field personnel (4–8 FTE equivalents; modeled as 6 FTE equivalents to run rotations and response teams).
Administrative Staff / Site Manager 1 [#19] One on-site site manager/admin to coordinate rotations, contractors, access logs, and cover-story administration.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates follow analyst midpoints and the SCP containment notes; property acquisition and site-specific costs (historic Swiss property) introduce location-dependent uncertainty, while personnel and routine ops are better constrained.
