Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations and scheduled maintenance only.
routine rotations scheduled R&D and monitoring no breaches or Steward loss
🚨 Minor Incident $6.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Small containment incident or equipment failure requiring additional MTF deployments, emergency medical care and limited repairs.
localized breach or equipment failure limited mass amnestic administration short-term extra deployments
🚨 Steward Death Emergency $9.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline
Death or incapacitation of the Steward triggers Emergency Procedure 4063-GABLES with major deployments, mass amnestic operations and potential relocations.
Steward death or sudden incapacity activation of 4063-GABLES mass amnestic deployment and extended MTF surge
👥 Personnel 36 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 35 [#9] MTF-300 δ pool required to staff four caretakers on-site with rotation constraints (35-agent pool assumed).
Research Scientist 1 [#22] Single Steward (Head Researcher) responsible for SCP-4063 research and contained operations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and several assumed midpoints; many items (amnestic use rates, medical incident frequency, need for outside contractors/bribes) are uncertain, producing moderate confidence.
