Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with no major incidents; routine operations, suppression, and maintenance only.
no active SCP-5911-1 manifestation standard suppression workload routine maintenance and staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $7.4M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
A localized active period / festival instance causing increased targeted ads/mailings, higher detainee counts, extra suppression and overtime.
SCP-5911-1 manifests (short-duration active period) spike in targeted ads and mailed invitations moderate number of civilian entrants/detainees
🚨 Major Breach $11.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment event: mass-exposure, public incident, or instances of SCP-5911-2 exiting requiring large-scale emergency response and expanded containment.
SCP-5911-2 exits into non-contained area large public exposure or media/political escalation mass-casualty or high-volume legal claims

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are aggregated from analyst ranges and include large discretionary reserves; many costs (frequency of activations, scale of outreach, litigation exposure) are uncertain, so totals are moderately reliable but could vary substantially with incident frequency.
