Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
85.0% probability / year
A normal year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, training, research and contingency budgets are exercised but no large operations are triggered.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
One or two manifestations requiring modest additional expenditures (overtime, extra amnestics, limited medical care, minor covert follow-ups).

🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Multiple manifestations or a single event leading to several abductees, larger investigations, significant amnestic use, and extended medical/legal response.

🚨 Goi Targeting Escalation $3.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
SCP is redirected toward a high-priority Group of Interest, triggering covert operations, surveillance, multi-unit MTF taskings, and potential facility-level escalation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#5] Dedicated meeting-cover detachment: 6officers assigned to attend mandatory meetings and rotate coverage.
Medical Officer / Paramedic 1 [#9] On-call medical staffing adjustments / incremental coverage for meetings and post-event trauma response.
Psychologist / Clinical Psychologist 1 [#8] Part-time clinical psychologists / EAP capacity for screening and post-event counseling.
Compliance / Internal Oversight 1 [#22] Internal oversight and ethics review staffing to monitor redirection/GoI-targeting decisions and maintain compliance.
📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item estimates for most categories, but uncertainty remains around manifestation frequency, scale of occasional GoI-targeting operations, and the split between consumables and staffing for some recurring budgets; hence medium confidence.
