⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.9M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal year with standard personnel, monitoring, maintenance, and modest research activity; no major shifts or significant equipment losses.
no major SCP-6580-B manifestations thaumaturgical masking effective no major equipment loss to Dimension-130
🚨 Minor Incident $9.3M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Small-scale containment incident: limited SCP-6580-B manifestation or a shift causing localized losses (equipment damage, 1–2 casualties, amnestic use).
single or small number of manifestations equipment lost or damaged increased amnestic and med usage
🚨 Major Breach $11.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Frequent/higher-severity manifestations causing multiple casualties, loss of robotics/equipment into Dimension-130, emergency large-scale response and heavy cover-up operations.
multiple SCP-6580-B waves loss of major equipment/fleet to Dimension-130 large-scale medical and cover-up operations
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $13.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Discovery requiring rapid scale-up of R&D and procurement (large multi-year psionic dampening program), hiring, and capital expenditures.
new exploitable characteristic discovered decision to pursue large-scale psionic dampening program expanded lab/field trials
👥 Personnel 45 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 18 [#4] 18 full-time armed guards (six per entrance × shifts with overtime/relief) as per analyst note.
Rapid Response Team (RRT) / Tactical 6 [#5] On-site quick-reaction containment team (4–8 recommended; 6 assumed) funded under rapid_response_team recurring budget.
Observation Post Operator / Watch Officer 8 [#7] Observation Post Beta staffing (6–10; midpoint 8) providing 24/7 surveillance and supervision.
Thaumaturge 2 [#8] Primary thaumaturge plus one backup (paid specialists).
Research Scientist / Specialist 9 [#21] Multidisciplinary research team (6–12 specialists; 9 used to match research budget).

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges in analyst estimates, an anomalous and unpredictable object (Dimension-130 losses), and large optional decisions (purchase vs lease, scope of R&D) produce high uncertainty in both one-time and recurring figures.
