Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $672K/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; standard operations and scheduled maintenance.
routine maintenance regular toy procurement scheduled testing and training
🚨 Minor Incident $697K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Localized incident (e.g., small structural damage, minor staff exposure, temporary increase in waste/disposal/overtime).
small containment breach unexpected aggressive behavior from certain toys
🚨 Major Breach $872K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or behavioral escalation requiring emergency upgrades, additional staffing, and major remediation.
widespread structural failure SCP begins incorporating non-toy items or expands attachment radius

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#11] 24/7 security coverage: 2guards/shift × 3 shifts = 6 FTE.
Caretaker / Facilities Technician 1.5 [#12] Daily checks, cleaning, coordinating feed/replenishment via remote systems (1–2 FTE; mid 1.5 FTE used).
Research Scientist 2 [#13] Paranormal/animal behavior researchers conducting monitoring and experiments (2 FTE).
Veterinary Consultant 0.5 [#14] Part-time veterinary/forensic biology consultant (retainer/part-time; represented as 0.5 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges but contain optional/variable items (e.g., optional incinerator, staffing levels, testing frequency). Mid-range estimates used; uncertainty remains in frequency of incidents and choice between contracted vs. capital solutions.
