⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $330K/yr
92.0% probability / year
Maintenance posture for a neutralized SCP: low‑intensity monitoring, minimal patrols, and basic upkeep with no anomalous activations.
no activation routine checks only
🚨 Minor Incident $405K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Small unexpected activation or local discovery requiring a short‑duration response, limited retrieval/cleanup, medical/amnestic use, and modest hush payments.
brief anomalous activation local civilian discovery small recovery operation
🚨 Major Breach $1.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant reactivation leading to extended response: full recovery team deployment, asset replacement, extended medical/psych care, major legal/cover operations and heavy use of contingency funds.
prolonged active state multiple casualties / evidence requiring large cleanup extended legal exposure
🚨 Decommission And Divest $930K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Decision to permanently retire the site: demolition, environmental remediation, sanitization and legal divestment in a single year.
policy decision to divest cost/benefit favors demolition mitigation of future liability
👥 Personnel 7 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#6] Nightly/no‑sundown patrols: single nightly operator/contractor for maintenance posture.
Caretaker 1 [#13] One full‑time on‑island caretaker for groundskeeping, basic maintenance and utilities management.
On-call Specialized Team 4 [#16] Roster of 4 specialists available on call for retrieval, body handling and contingency response (retainer/standby rather than permanently on site).
Research Scientist 1 [#18] One researcher (part‑time / low‑intensity posture) for sample analysis, monitoring and data review.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges allowing mid‑range estimates, but many figures require posture-based scaling (neutralized vs active posture) and local market variability (island purchase, refurbishment, and contingency sizing), so overall confidence is medium.
