⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine testing, scheduled acquisitions and no major containment incidents.
routine operations scheduled acquisitions no major breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $7.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized containment/medical surge: one or a few instances exhibit coordinated self-mutilation or temporary sedation/monitoring failures requiring overtime, extra meds, limited retrievals and amnestics.
temporary sedation/monitoring failure small coordinated self-harm events limited retrieval + amnestic use
🚨 Major Breach $8.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Containment breach or coordinated escape of multiple instances requiring sustained tactical response, equipment replacement, large-scale medical interventions and significant cover-up expenditures.
multi-instance escape extended tactical recapture multiple casualties / medical surge
🚨 Catastrophic Reconstruction Event $11.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Worst-case event: SCP-2588-1 plus >13 instances coordinate to attempt reconstruction of Arthur Jones, producing large-scale synchronous actions, mass extractions, major casualties and nation-level exposure risks.
SCP-2588-1 present with >13 instances coordinated mass extractions large-scale medical & tactical operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based directly on analyst-provided line-item figures but contain splits/assumptions (e.g., how to allocate surgical suite vs equipment, maintenance baselines, and contingency usage). Regional/site differences and existing infrastructure could materially change one-time costs.
