🚨 Minor Incident $1.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized contamination or unexpectedly hazardous topping requiring overtime, extra disposal, limited legal action, and extra outsourcing of tests.

🚨 Major Breach $1.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant anomalous escalation or public exposure requiring quarantine, large-scale disposal, PR suppression, legal battles, and possible relocation of SCP-3275-2.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges but many items (lab BSL level, degree of outsourcing, and incident likelihood) have large bands; point estimates reflect mid-range choices, so overall confidence is medium.
