⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $31.2M/yr

80.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with ongoing containment, research, monitoring and steady-state response posture; no major additional incidents.

no major breaches steady medical caseload routine intelligence operations

🚨 Minor Incident $34.6M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$3.3M vs baseline

Localized incident requiring short emergency lockdown, forensic response, limited MTF activity and medical surge.

localized raid or skirmish short-term lockdown/forensic campaign limited additional MTF deployments

🚨 Major Breach $55.7M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$24.5M vs baseline

Large-scale compromise requiring full recovery campaign (SCP-5292-2 retrieval), site relocation or major repairs, large settlements and contingency/black-ops escalation.

successful large-scale raid loss of key assets / SCP retrieval needed mass casualties and site compromise

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are low-confidence due to large uncertainties in thaumaturgic/ontokinetic requirements, the variable scope of retrieval and covert operations, and wide ranges in analyst input; many line items are scenario-dependent and could scale by orders of magnitude.
