⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.4M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, occasional cases, and no major incidents; recurring programs run at planned capacity.
occasional individual manifestations routine medical and response activity
🚨 Manifestation Spike $12.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Multiple simultaneous manifestations or a higher-than-expected yearly case load that stresses medical, field, and PR capacities.
clustered manifestations mass-casualty or high-visibility incidents major PR/cover-up expenditures
🚨 Capture Of Tech $11.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Recovery of SCP-3909-B technology or samples requiring specialized containment and an accelerated research/ops response.
recovery of anomalous technology/samples need for specialized EM/radiation/isolation containment
👥 Personnel 22 total

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items and ranges are well-documented in analyst notes, but substantial uncertainty remains in case frequency, per-case medical complexity, and scale of future manifestations; scenario probabilities and per-case counts are therefore estimates.
