Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.0M/yr
91.7% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations and no major incidents beyond routine maintenance and scheduled research activities.
no major incidents scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Single contained malfunction or medical emergency (e.g., exit-wound malfunction ~3% risk during approach) requiring emergency care, investigation, and small legal/settlement actions.
local containment malfunction per-incident emergency care and investigation
🚨 Major Breach $6.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or severe malfunction causing multiple fatalities or major injuries requiring large medical response, internal investigations, and substantial legal/cover-up expenditures.
containment breach multiple severe injuries major internal investigation
🚨 Political Exposure $9.0M/yr
0.3% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Public exposure of SCP activity requiring major national-level cover-up, relocation/resettlement, and extensive legal settlements and contingency spending.
public/media exposure legal and resettlement costs
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $5.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Discovery requiring rapid scale-up of robotics R&D, lab capacity and classified procurement to investigate/neutralize L-IV technology.
