⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $278.8M/yr
93.9% probability / year
Normal year with routine appearances, steady suppression, no major public exposures or large legal events.
routine SCP-6290 appearances no high-profile exposures suppression and legal pipelines functioning
🚨 Minor Incident $280.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized media attention or a hospital leak requiring accelerated takedowns, small settlements and surge legal/PR response.
local news coverage small whistleblower or social-media virality
🚨 Major Breach $328.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure in national media or coordinated leaks requiring major litigation, large settlements, emergency suppression and program scaling.
national investigative reporting large-scale social media amplification
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $478.8M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Program-wide exposure, class-action suits, political scrutiny and multiyear emergency response including major contingency payouts and rapid scaling of containment/R&D.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use broad ranges and several major structural assumptions (number of target facilities/agents, in-house vs contracted production, incident frequency and witness counts). SCP spontaneous behavior and public-exposure probabilities are highly uncertain, producing low overall confidence.
