⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.0M/yr
91.5% probability / year
Normal year: ongoing monitoring, routine activations (SCP-6050-A) covered by standard staffing and operations with no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $5.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$650K vs baseline
Localized ritual or unauthorized access causes a limited SCP-6050-C-like activation or other incident needing surge response, remediation and local payouts.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from analyst ranges and canonical containment requirements; many items (contingency, catastrophic exposures, cover operations) are intentionally broad and scenario-dependent, so medium confidence captures structured estimates with substantial uncertainty.
