⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $102.8M/yr
74.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine maintenance, research, and cover operations; no major containment breach.
routine operations scheduled maintenance standard research cycles
🚨 Minor Incident $107.8M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident or increased demonic activity requiring overtime, minor repairs, and extra capture sorties.
localized breach surge in SCP-4661-B activity
🚨 Major Breach $152.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring large emergency response, temporary shutdown of Unit, repairs, and substantial legal/compensation payouts.
major containment breach partial collapse requiring rebuild
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.1B/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline
Full containment collapse or city-scale escalation requiring execution of contingency fund, mass evacuations, long-term remediation, and reconstruction.

📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges in the source are broad and depend on strategic choices (outright purchase vs. lease, scale of contingency reserves, covert vs. legitimate operations), and many anomalous technical requirements are uncertain; estimates use midpoints where ranges were given.
