⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.0M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, and ongoing R&D.
no breach routine operations ongoing research
🚨 Minor Incident $6.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized contamination, brief partial breach, or short-term reality-shift requiring emergency response and repairs.
minor containment breach localized infrastructure damage short emergency mobilization
🚨 Major Breach $11.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or prolonged noospheric effect requiring relocation of assets, major repairs, extended R&D, and large community/legal expenditures.
major containment failure extended reality-shift requiring remediation forced temporary relocation
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $31.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Site loss or catastrophic reality alteration forcing complete relocation to a hardened facility and full program rebuild.

📋 Confidence Notes
While many line-item ranges are provided, the SCP's antimemetic/erloschen properties and potential for reality-shifting events introduce large, unpredictable variance in both one-time and recurring costs; contingency and R&D estimates drive major uncertainty.
