⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $21.8M/yr

92.5% probability / year

Normal monitoring year: mole reporting and routine containment/monitoring; no major incidents or activations.

🚨 Minor Incident $24.0M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$2.2M vs baseline

Localized compromise of an asset requiring emergency exfiltration, limited diplomatic mitigation and mole replacement.

🚨 Major Incident $73.8M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$52.0M vs baseline

Partial activation or exposure requiring a covert seizure/strike and immediate secure containment buildout and R&D ramp-up.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are based on analyst ranges and scenario assumptions; SCP is anomalous with many operational uncertainties (Argus-class containment under third-party control), leading to wide potential cost variance and low confidence.
