Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
90.9% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; regular maintenance, staff, research, and small-scale operations only.
no breach events scheduled training and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Limited replication event or isolated robot activation requiring targeted response, disassembly, hazardous disposal, and overtime.
single SCP-635-2 replication localized disassembly and disposal
🚨 Major Breach $8.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Multiple viable SCP-635-3 instances or broader robot proliferation requiring site-level neutralization, equipment replacement, and extensive remediation.
multiple SCP-635-3 activation extension to SCP-635-4 assembly
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $53.2M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Large-scale uncontrolled SCP-635-4 appearance requiring multi-site mobilization, mass evacuation/cleanup, and long-term environmental remediation.
viable SCP-635-4 deployment mass robot replication and environmental damage

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed categories and large ranges; many costs (likelihood of replication, scale of potential breaches, and contingency sizing) are highly uncertain, producing medium confidence in dollar estimates.
