One-time capital expenditures are approximately $136,800,000 driven by site hardening, specialized containment suites, long-term program funds and contingency reserves; ongoing operations are approximately $75,450,000/year driven by per-cycle anomaly operations, staffing (security and research), military/MTF retainers, and large contingency/overhead lines.

20.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring additional deployments and repairs but resolved rapidly.
small containment breach short MTF deployments targeted emergency repairs
🚨 Major Breach $135.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$60.0M vs baseline
Large containment failure with significant infrastructure damage and extended response.
failed containment before timer expiry multiple high‑severity SCP‑3030‑3 instances extended MTF and repair operations
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $275.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
High uncertainty due to the open‑ended and arbitrary nature of SCP‑3030's produced anomalies, broad cost ranges in analyst notes, and potential for extreme single events; estimates use mid‑range assumptions and large contingency lines to reflect this uncertainty.
