⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.4M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with standard monitoring, staffing, D-Class rotations, and reserves but no major incidents or uncontrolled spatial growth.

🚨 Minor Incident $4.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring overtime, additional medical/psych support and modest equipment replacement but no large-scale breach or evacuation.

🚨 Major Breach $4.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or large exposure event requiring evacuation, sustained surge staffing, large-scale medical/psychiatric response, legal costs and public liaison.

🚨 Scaling Growth $4.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Uncontrolled spatial growth of SCP-2773-1 forces rapid scaling of perimeter, additional staffing and expanded monitoring coverage.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are grounded in provided line-item ranges and SCP containment requirements, so personnel and D-Class costs are relatively well-constrained; uncertainty remains around property purchase price variability by city, frequency/severity of breach events, and the long-term impact and mitigation of SCP-2773-1 spatial growth.
