Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled maintenance, routine research, monitoring, and no major incidents.
normal_operations scheduled_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure (e.g., primary cryocooler fault or power hiccup) requiring emergency replacement, overtime, and forensic follow-up but no public exposure.

🚨 Major Breach $6.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Containment breach or catastrophic thaw or direct-viewing cascade requiring large-scale emergency containment, replacement equipment, transport, and major litigation/incident response.
physical_breach thaw_event public_exposure
🚨 Major Legal Exposure $4.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant leak tying SCP-2805 to external corporate entities (e.g., Disney) triggering extensive legal battles, PR campaigns, hush payments, and negotiated settlements without physical breach.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing midrange estimates; major uncertainties remain around discretionary cover/PR spend, litigation frequency, and severity of breach scenarios, hence medium confidence.
