⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.3M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal operating year with no major incidents; regular care, staffing, research, and contingency allocations proceed as budgeted.
steady care needs no breaches routine research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized incident (medical complication, small containment failure, accelerated conservation needs) requiring overtime, emergency supplies, short-term consultant hires and repairs.
acute deterioration of SCP-5199-A medical emergency requiring outside care small security/containment breach
🚨 Major Breach $3.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or anomalous recurrence requiring large-scale emergency response, relocation, major repairs, external PR/legal action, and intensive research response.
security breach public exposure/FOIA/legal escalation return of transient anomalous capabilities

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoints of ranges provided in analyst notes and the article; many line items are well-specified (staffing, equipment), but broad ranges for contingency, overhead, and some staffing options produce moderate uncertainty.
