⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $28K/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with only planned annual activities, no incidents beyond expected monitoring and maintenance.
scheduled annual manifestation routine monitoring and archival
🚨 Minor Incident $38K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$10K vs baseline
Limited equipment damage or procedural deviation requiring repairs and short investigations.
sensor/camera damage small containment protocol breach short technical investigation
🚨 Major Breach $103K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Event causes personnel injury, significant equipment loss, or requires expanded on-site emergency response and extended investigation.
injury requiring evacuation/medical care major equipment destruction extended forensic/residential study
🚨 Political Exposure $178K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Civilian exposure or public incident requiring intensive legal, PR, and cover-story operations and potential facility-level remediation.
public/press exposure lawsuit or regulatory action

Role Count Notes
Senior Researcher 1 [#2, #12, #11] Leads on-site monitoring during the event, performs annual predictive analysis/planning, and participated in initial forensic research.
Research Technician 2 [#2, #12, #13] Support on-site monitoring, run sensors and controlled-interaction tests, assist predictive planning.
Security Officer / Guard 4 [#2, #3] Two regular guards present for the event and two contingency extra guards for lockdown/perimeter control.

📋 Confidence Notes
Budget items are grounded in explicit analyst estimates and the SCP's annual, location-specific manifestation, but behavioral deviation risk and potential high-impact scenarios remain uncertain, producing moderate confidence.
