⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.0M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; all systems operational and routine maintenance only.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure or small containment leak requiring repair, limited cleanup and temporary overtime.

🚨 Major Breach $2.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$900K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or large uncontrolled flow of SCP-6134-C, requiring emergency contractors, extended repairs, potential legal response and remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling mid-range estimates; uncertainty remains due to multiple optional approaches (CT purchase vs contract scans, one-time vs recurring contingency) and unknown long-term maritime posture, so medium confidence is appropriate.
