Estimated one-time containment retrofit and remediation costs are approximately $2.0M driven primarily by structural hardening and 50 m sightline remediation; ongoing annual costs are ~ $1.46M driven by staffing, contingencies/reserve funding, detection-system maintenance, and legal/cover-story costs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no significant incidents or major remediation required.
no breaches routine inspections scheduled training and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$210K vs baseline
Localized perforation/projectile event requiring rapid repair, forensic analysis, temporary relocation to transport pod, and elevated legal/PR costs.
wall perforation small-scale projectile damage single incident forensic investigation
🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant projectile attack or extraction of large syringe-shaped mass requiring extensive remediation, use of contingency funds, major repairs, and potential temporary relocation of containment.
large-scale structural damage external heavy cylindrical infrastructure involvement extended containment repairs or site mitigation

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed on many line items (staffing, retrofit items, and ranges), allowing a reasonable estimate; however large uncertainty remains around the scope of 50 m remediation, external-hazard remediation costs, and the potential force envelope of SCP-3727, so precision is limited.
