⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.6M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major breaches or large-scale remediation/neutralization actions; routine operations, scheduled missions and readiness expenses only.
No major breach Regular scheduled missions No large-scale remediation
🚨 Minor Incident $10.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Minor breach or localized violent encounter requiring MTF activation, equipment replacement, and short-term community compensation.
Small breach 1–2 MTF activations Localized equipment/tower/fence replacement
🚨 Major Breach $12.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure with multiple SCP-4243-RED houses mobilizing, major equipment destruction, large MTF deployments and possible large settlements.
Large coordinated RED movement Multiple infrastructure losses Extended MTF operations
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $19.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Severe containment failure requiring area-scale interventions, emergency neutralization/remediation, large-scale litigation and political exposure.
Widespread mobilization and civilian exposure Decision to excavate/demolish dumps Large-scale neutralization deployment

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a medium-confidence estimate; several high-variance optional items (dump remediation, satellite hush fees, active neutralization) produce uncertainty and prevent a high confidence rating.
