⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.9M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled procedures, staffing, monitoring, and routine R&D with no major incidents.
steady-state containment weekly excisions and cryostorage ongoing research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $20.1M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$7.2M vs baseline
Localized breach/event requiring field response, targeted decontamination, limited recovery and cover-up operations.
tumor ejection causing localized structural damage field retrieval of samples targeted decontamination and cover-up
🚨 Major Breach $122.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$110.0M vs baseline
Catastrophic containment failure resulting in site destruction or requirement to rebuild/replace major facilities and large-scale recovery/cover-up.
full-site destabilization and collapse multiple SCP escapes or theft requirement to reconstruct or replace Site-172-equivalent infrastructure

📋 Confidence Notes
While many line-item ranges were provided, the anomalous temporal/retrocausal behavior and speculative extradimensional R&D create high uncertainty in capital and recurring needs; estimates rely on broad midpoints and expert judgment rather than definitive bids.
