⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.5M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with existing containment posture maintained and routine operations only.

🚨 Minor Incident $4.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$255K vs baseline
Single-manifestation response or small-scale exposure requiring rapid-response deployment, forensic workup, and cover-story execution.
single SCP-4662 manifestation in public local missing-child investigation and exhumation event targeted PR/cover-story and limited forensic operations
🚨 Major Breach $7.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Larger containment failure or public exposure involving multiple manifestations/breach, legal/PR crisis and emergency contingency measures.
site breach or multiple simultaneous manifestations significant public exposure requiring legal defense emergency relocation and large-scale forensic/cover ops

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: underlying line items are standard (security, cryostorage, medical), but ranges are wide and many costs depend on uncertain operational choices (number of instances, R&D scope, cover operations). Historical manifest unpredictability and ethical constraints add uncertainty.
