Initial one-time containment, classification and build-out are estimated at roughly $10.6M driven by facility construction, contingency reserves, and potential decommissioning costs. Ongoing annual operations are estimated at ~$4.19M/year, driven primarily by staff wages, insurance/legal, and R&D/monitoring.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.2M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations and scheduled maintenance only.

🚨 Minor Incident $4.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$515K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or infohazard discovery requiring emergency deployment, forensic recovery and short-term quarantine/PR response.
small breach or leak infohazard requires sanitization single-site exposure
🚨 Major Breach $12.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$8.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure (biological/radiological/reality-affecting) requiring decommissioning, large-scale remediation and major legal/diplomatic response.

📋 Confidence Notes
The SCP file is corrupted/missing and analyst notes are deliberately broad to cover multiple hazard classes; estimates are high-level, scenario-driven ranges rather than precise bids, hence low confidence.
