⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with standard operations, no containment incidents.
routine operations scheduled maintenance normal breeding throughput
🚨 Minor Incident $1.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure (HVAC/filter or sensor) requiring emergency replacements, overtime, short quarantine and increased vet/medical consumption.
filter breakthrough or fan failure sensor/alarm indicating VOC release short-term quarantine and emergency replacement
🚨 Major Breach $3.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Containment breach with spread of SCP-3233-1 within site corridors requiring extended lockdown, mass decontamination, staff medical care, legal/PR engagement and research ramp-up.
physical breach (e.g., vent breach) prolonged air contamination major staff exposure or multi-day quarantine
🚨 Ecological Spillover $3.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
SCP-3233-1 reaches wild tenrec populations requiring regional ecological response, large-scale monitoring, remediation or population control.
off-site detection of SCP-3233-1 confirmed effects on wild Tenrecidae need for regional mitigation or culling

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges enabling middling confidence, but key uncertainties remain (R&D outcomes, ecological mitigation scale, information-control intensity), so cost estimates are approximate.
