⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, scheduled research, and no major containment incidents.
normal_ops scheduled_research no_breach
🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Limited containment incident (collar tampering / short escape attempt) requiring short-term MTF response, equipment replacement and overtime.

🚨 Major Breach $2.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$550K vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring full-site lockdown, full MTF deployment, casualty management, replacement of assets and extended recovery operations.

Role Count Notes
Monitoring Technician 6 Control-room monitoring technicians operating collars and cameras; corresponds to #6 (6 FTE).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 Armed security guards covering escorts and interventions; corresponds to #7 (6 FTE).
Device-Accounting Technician 1 Dedicated technician for inventory, scanning and logging workflow; corresponds to #14 (1 FTE).
Research Scientist 2 Project HEPHAESTUS research leads/scientists overseeing projects with SCP-4586; corresponds to #25 (2 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items (salaries, equipment, recurring consumables) so most line-item costs are well-constrained; uncertainty remains in episodic items (outsourced imaging campaigns, MTF deployments, major-incident frequency and scale) so overall confidence is medium.
