⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with expected containment operations, scheduled ruptures and routine research/legal activities.
routine ruptures scheduled maintenance no major public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $3.6M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment incident causing extra structural damage or a small-scale leak requiring extensive cleanup and short-term PR/legal response.
unexpected blast damage localized structural repair short-term media attention
🚨 Major Breach $8.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or exposure leading to large-scale public awareness, multi-jurisdictional litigation, expanded cleanup and emergency expansion of containment capacity.
public discovery multi-site exposure large lawsuits and regulatory intervention

📋 Confidence Notes
SCP-6417 is anomalous with many uncertain scalars (unknown total affected population, variable legal/PR exposure and per-incident damages). Analyst ranges are broad; estimates here are for a small (10-attendee) containment program and carry significant uncertainty.
