⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8M/yr
80.5% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; normal operations, monitoring, planned missions and maintenance only.
normal_operations scheduled_missions no_large_breach
🚨 Minor Incident $7.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized hostile activity or an entrance re-activates requiring surge response and elevated disposal/compensation costs.

🚨 Major Breach $13.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$7.0M vs baseline
Multi-entrance activation or prolonged hostile period requiring major rail intercepts, large-scale remediation and expanded security.

🚨 International Spread $18.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Instance(s) of SCP-2727 travel off-island, causing multi-jurisdictional exposure, large cleanups, legal settlements and urgent facility expansion.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#3] Two full-time security agents per sealed entrance (2 × 8 entrances).
Rapid-response Team Member 16 [#4] Two rapid-response teams maintained (approx. 8 members/team on average).
Monitoring Analyst 2 [#23] Transit and signal monitoring analysts to watch telemetry and sensor feeds.
Site Director / Program Manager / Executive Staff 2 [#25] Program manager / executive oversight included in administrative staffing.
Administrative Staff 2 [#25] Clerical, accounting and clearance support included in administrative overhead.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes give detailed line-item ranges and scaling with number of entrances, enabling a modular estimate, but the anomaly's unpredictable behavior (movement off-island, morphology changes, invisibility) and variable mission frequency produce uncertainty in incident probabilities and required contingency levels.
