Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; standard containment, research and compliance operations.
routine operations scheduled research no accidental exposures
🚨 Minor Incident $2.2M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Single accidental exposure or small containment incident requiring medical treatment, cleanup, and limited legal/PR response.
accidental on-contact exposure localized contamination cleanup hospitalization of affected subject
🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant breach/large exposure event leading to multiple hospitalizations, extended emergency response, potential settlements and urgent containment upgrades.
multiple-subject exposure extended hospitalization legal settlements / containment upgrade
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $2.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Research uncovers more hazardous properties or promising mechanism that requires scaling staff, equipment, and oversight.
significant research finding need for expanded lab capacity additional specialist hires

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived from the analyst's provided ranges and explicit staff/salary figures; many line items have wide ranges and the SCP's anomalous nature creates uncertainty in incident probabilities, so a medium confidence level is appropriate.
