⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $678K/yr
92.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, monitoring and staffing only.
no alarms or breaches routine maintenance and training only
🚨 Minor Incident $698K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
Single smoke activation/flooding event with limited contamination and staff exposure requiring disposal, overtime and medical follow-up.
smoke alarm activation single flooding event limited personnel exposure
🚨 Major Breach $978K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Containment failure or widespread contamination requiring multi-team response, significant remediation, medical treatment, legal actions and large reserve drawdown.
failed containment flood or mechanical failure multiple staff exposures site remediation and legal response
🚨 Transport Operation $686K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8K vs baseline
Planned or emergency movement of SCP-5907 to another facility with specialized crate/vehicle, security and short-term protocols.
scheduled relocation emergency transfer

Role Count Notes
Containment Technician 2 Two full-time trained containment technicians (salary assumption ~ $75,000 each) to cover inspections and incident response; maps to [#8].
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 Rotating security staff (4–8 guards modeled as 6 on-site equivalence; salary assumption ~ $50,000 each) for 24/7 coverage and access control; maps to [#9].
Radiation Safety Officer / EHS 1 One RSO/EHS oversight (prorated full-time equivalent) responsible for dosimetry and safety programs; salary assumption ~ $80,000; maps to [#10].
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are well-specified with realistic ranges, but incident frequency, contingency sizing, staffing model and per-incident medical/remediation costs have substantial uncertainty; mid-range assumptions were used.
