⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $737.5M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine maintenance, research, disinformation and no major incidents.
normal_operations scheduled_research routine_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2B/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500.0M vs baseline
Localized equipment failure, containment breach of samples, or costly repair/testing cycle requiring immediate capital and operational surge.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $20.7B/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0B vs baseline
Major containment loss, destruction or compromise of primary Triple-T2 installation, requiring full rebuild, international-level response and large endowment draw.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates consolidate analyst ranges but the SCP's exotic energy requirements, uncertain physics of Triple-T2 and open-ended contingency needs create order-of-magnitude uncertainty; line-item types are clear but magnitudes remain speculative.
