One-time startup and containment construction costs are substantial (~$5.7M); ongoing yearly operations (security, technical staff, research, waste handling, covert logistics) drive recurring costs (~$6.4M/yr). Major escalation risks (full production) could raise annual costs by tens of millions.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.4M/yr
87.9% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled operations, no major incidents.
routine maintenance scheduled research activities normal waste throughput
🚨 Minor Incident $6.9M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized equipment failures, small production surge, or a contained incident requiring repair/cleanup and temporary overtime.
machine failure small containment breach equipment replacement
🚨 Major Breach $10.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Significant breach/destruction or exposure event requiring large-scale medical response, replacement of machinery, legal/PR costs, and elevated security.
major machinery destruction mass casualty event external discovery / litigation
🚨 Full Production $56.4M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
SCP-464 repaired/operating at full capacity (hundreds of produced adults/day) requiring mass processing, greatly expanded staffing, and major policy decisions (recycle vs study).
restoration of all machines to functioning status sustained full-rate production policy decision to retain rather than immediately recycle

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and plausible ranges, allowing a mid-range budgeting approach; uncertainty remains in rare high-impact events (full production, major breaches) and policy choices about retention vs recycling, so confidence is medium.
