⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $124K/yr
93.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations and no major incidents.
no exposure events routine maintenance scheduled training
🚨 Minor Incident $131K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$7K vs baseline
Single minor exposure where a restricted individual interacts with SCP-4655 causing short-term counseling and a small response mobilization.
restricted-person entry single short counseling episode
🚨 Major Incident $174K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Severe exposure with prolonged psychological harm and potential legal claim requiring settlements, extended therapy and investigations.
prohibited entry by vulnerable individual legal claim or prolonged treatment
🚨 Reclassification And Upgrade $244K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Unforeseen emergent properties require rapid containment upgrade and staffing increase (uses one-time escalation funds).

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are given as ranges and Safe-class containment is well-described; however legal, contingency and optional research items are uncertain and could vary widely, so overall confidence is medium.
