⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $20K/yr
96.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, preservation, and no incidents.
no incidents routine inspections annual preservation
🚨 Minor Incident $25K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$5K vs baseline
Single minor incident requiring rapid-response mobilization and limited follow-up testing.
unexpected transient anomalous behavior localized contamination or suspected re-activation small-scale containment breach
🚨 Major Incident $50K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Significant event requiring comprehensive forensic campaign, temporary isolation, additional containment measures or disposal actions.
sustained anomalous re-activation damage requiring controlled destruction multi-day forensic campaign

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 0.15 [#5] Pro-rated share of site security coverage allocated to SCP-2741.
Administrative Staff 0.05 [#5] Pro-rated administrative/recordkeeping overhead allocated to SCP-2741.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item-level estimates are detailed and grounded in typical small-item containment practice, but probabilities for incidents and some recurring allocations (e.g., per-move logistics, replenishment policy) require judgment calls, so confidence is medium.
