⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
97.9% probability / year
Normal year with Kurentovanje performed, routine monitoring and preparedness but no ritual failure or large containment operations.
Kurentovanje performed as planned no conversions or localized incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Partial ritual disruption or small-scale failure producing a limited number (tens) of SCP-4772-1 that require field capture, medical response and limited disposal/PR.
localized festival interruption dozens of conversions small field deployments and short-term media leaks
🚨 Major Containment Event $15.6M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Widespread ritual failure or coordinated interruption producing hundreds of SCP-4772-1 requiring national-level mobilization, mass containment, forensic work, extended disposal and major PR/legal operations.
regional/ritual-wide failure hundreds of conversions multi-week mass containment and international exposure risk
