⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.6M/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal year with targeted surveillance and routine operations; no major incidents or scope changes.
no breaches targeted monitoring only routine research pace
🚨 Minor Incident $10.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$370K vs baseline
Local containment breach or isolated incident requiring limited MTF response, forensic processing and temporary legal/cover actions.
small escape single-site forensic response short-term legal/cover-up
🚨 Major Breach $13.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline
Significant escape or multi-site transformation event requiring prolonged recapture operations, containment repairs, expanded legal response and public mitigation.
multi-person transformation prolonged recapture major legal exposure
🚨 Broad Surveillance Scale Up $15.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.5M vs baseline
Programmatic decision to monitor all barbecue-pork-serving restaurants regionally (broad scope), greatly increasing surveillance, deployments and intelligence costs.
policy decision to expand scope regional outbreak concerns intelligence-driven expansion
🚨 Political Exposure $11.6M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Leak or local authority discovery requiring significant legal settlement, enhanced cover operations and PR/legal remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of ranges provided in analyst notes and aggregate many high-variance items (legal/cover-ups, surveillance scope, countermeasure R&D). The SCP's anomalous properties and legal/ethical uncertainties create moderate uncertainty in long-term recurring costs.
