🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment event or equipment failure requiring overtime, temporary repair contractors and limited medical responses.
equipment failure small containment breach localized flood/structural damage
🚨 Major Breach $15.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring large-scale emergency response, repairs, temporary relocation and potential reconstruction.
major containment failure structural collapse extensive artifact or site damage
🚨 Political Exposure $10.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Public/political exposure requiring intensive legal defense, PR campaigns, hush payments, and expedited containment upgrades.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are grounded in explicit line-item analyst figures but the SCP's anomalous nature (and directives such as SCP-2317 removal) introduce variance; contingency lines are large to reflect that uncertainty.
