⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $75.7M/yr

85.0% probability / year

Normal year with containment posture in place (one anchor, suite capacity, surveillance and response fleet) and routine operations only.

no major SRA failures routine incidents handled at per-incident budget

🚨 Minor Incident $77.7M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline

Localized manifestation(s) requiring deployment of mobile shelters, extra overtime, and elevated forensic/decon operations but no SRA failure.

clustered local manifestations multiple small extractions

🚨 Major Breach $325.6M/yr

4.0% probability / year +$250.0M vs baseline

Partial SRA failure or ability of SCP-6072 to bypass primary anchor requiring anchor repair/replacement, significant relocation and large-scale mitigation.

SRA malfunction/failure widespread local manifestations mass relocation needs

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $825.6M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$750.0M vs baseline

Widespread simultaneous manifestations, multiple SRA failures or mass casualty event requiring activation of contingency reserve, national-level relocation and emergency measures.

multisite SRA failures mass casualties national-level emergency response

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes enumerate most relevant cost categories and ranges, but extreme uncertainty remains around anchor unit costs, number of anchors required, frequency of large-scale breaches, and civilian mitigation scale; estimates are mid-range choices within wide bounds.
