⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with standard operations for the baseline cohort (no major incidents or public exposures).
no breaches regular monitoring routine family support
🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small containment incident or limited public exposure requiring targeted MTF deployment, repairs, limited legal action, and modest additional family support.

🚨 Major Breach $6.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach with multiple conversions or a high-profile exposure requiring sustained MTF operations, expanded legal/PR response, and larger compensation/rebuild efforts.
multi-instance breach sustained media coverage extended MTF deployments
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $54.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Widespread containment failure or mass public conversions requiring interagency emergency response, national-level cover-up expenditures, and potentially open-ended operations.
uncontained mass conversions national media exposure interagency covert operations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges and a baseline cohort assumption (6 SCP-2650-1 instances). Many line items (legal/PR, contingency needs, MTF deployment frequency, public exposure severity) are highly variable, so totals are approximate; good granularity in notes but uncertainty in scale and incident probabilities leads to moderate confidence.
