Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.8M/yr
93.9% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, staffing, maintenance and regular consumable replenishment.
no containment incidents regular maintenance and resupply steady staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $8.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment event requiring targeted repairs, short-term overtime, and limited amnestics/PR response.
small structural damage in cell sensor or door failure limited public exposure requiring amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $10.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or failure of containment requiring multi-week repairs, major equipment replacement, reconstruction and wider amnestic/legal response.
partial structural failure or repeated protocol breaches regional infrastructure damage extended recovery & reconstruction
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $32.8M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Large-scale escalation where SCP-3740 affects outdoor weather/airspace, necessitating mass mitigation, evacuations, major reconstruction and large compensation/containment programs.
SCP extends influence outdoors airspace/regional weather disruption mass civilian exposure or infrastructure damage

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude midpoints based on provided ranges. The SCP's anomalous behavior and site-specific variables (number of cells, existing Site-81 capability) introduce uncertainty; contingency and reserve lines are large contributors to overall uncertainty.
