88.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous monitoring, routine research, no major incidents or escalations.
no major incidents routine monitoring and research only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$80K vs baseline
Localized violent incident causing minor injuries, equipment damage and short-term operational disruption.
SCP-6641-1 manifests aggressively in shared space minor property/equipment damage medical treatment for 1–2 personnel
🚨 Major Breach $1.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$700K vs baseline
Severe escalation with multiple injuries, significant facility damage, legal exposure and possible transfer to higher-security containment.

👥 Personnel 7 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 [#1] 24/7 continuous on-site observers (4.5 FTE rounded to 5 to account for coverage, sick leave, vacations).
Monitoring Analyst 2 [#2] Dedicated remote/video/audio monitoring and analyst staff for continuous documentation and review.
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment scope and recurring needs are well-described in analyst notes (security, monitoring, storage, medical/research). Uncertainty remains around frequency/severity of escalation events and long-term health liabilities, hence medium confidence.
