⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine containment, regular regurgitation management within expected operational capacity and no major equipment failures.
routine regurgitation events standard maintenance and staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
One or more larger-than-expected regurgitation events requiring extra medical/surgical interventions, additional necropsies, overtime and disposals.
multi-hour extraction requiring extra staff overtime additional necropsy/disposal and PPE use
🚨 Major Freezer Failure Or Mass Event $1.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Catastrophic freezer failure or a single event producing many large SCP-5364-1 instances requiring emergency temporary storage, heavy-lift transport, and replacement equipment/repairs.
walk-in freezer failure mass specimen recovery requiring rentals and contractor emergency repairs

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#3] Six guards to staff three 8-hour shifts and provide escorts during events; salaries and benefits included in staff_wages.
Containment Technician / Escort Staff 3 [#4] Two–three technicians; budgeted three FTE-equivalents for daily checks, pass-through management and on-call rotation.
Medical Officer / Nurse / Technician 3 [#5] ER nurse/technician staff plus contracted on-call physician coverage for extractions and emergency surgery.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges; staff and equipment needs are well-described but event frequency (and resulting variable consumables/disposal/recovery costs) is uncertain, producing moderate confidence in annual figures.
