⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $668K/yr
84.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, scheduled research, D-Class rotations and maintenance.
scheduled_play_sessions routine_maintenance normal_research_activity
🚨 Minor Incident $718K/yr
12.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Small containment incident (minor injury, toy contamination, equipment failure) requiring medical care, short lockdown, repairs and incident review.
toy_contamination_or_loss surveillance_or_power_outage minor_D-Class_injury
🚨 Major Incident $1.1M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant event similar to documented transformation incident: SCP temporarily becomes larger/hostile, causes injury and requires extended medical care, repair, forensic re-analysis and security response.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $1.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Rare catastrophic containment failure or cascading manifestations requiring emergency transfer to higher-containment, large-scale medical response, legal exposure and long-term research scale-up.

👥 Personnel 5.0 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#7] 24/7 site security coverage (3 FTE to cover shifts) including benefits/overtime reserves.
Containment Technician / Custodial Staff 1.5 [#8] 1–1.5 FTE for day-to-day care, cleaning and session facilitation; budgeted at 1.5 FTE coverage.
Research Scientist / Behaviorist 0.5 [#9] Part-time clinical psychologist/behaviorist (0.5 FTE) to supervise play protocols and evaluations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided line-item estimates are detailed for most categories (salaries, D-Class pool, equipment), giving moderate confidence; uncertainty remains due to SCP's transformative incident and unknown anomalous behaviors which could spike costs.
