⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.1M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Normal operational year at assumed manifestation rate (~1/week) with routine monitoring, containment, reintegration and administration.
routine_manifestations (~1/week) no large-scale diversion or surge events
🚨 Minor Incident $10.1M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Year with several higher-cost incidents (aircraft diversions, legal disputes, increased emergency responses) increasing operational load.
multiple aircraft diversions legal/diplomatic incidents temporary surge in reintegration cases
🚨 Major Manifestation Wave $39.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Exceptional year with a mass-manifestation event (many hundreds of SCP-6737-A in a week) requiring containment overflow, widespread diversions, international diplomatic response and large-scale reintegration or institutionalization.
mass manifestation (hundreds of subjects) widespread aircraft diversions and international incidents

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 Frontline containment, intercepts, and capture teams; part of MTF Tau-14 staffing noted in #3.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on detailed analyst notes and explicit per-item ranges, but key drivers (manifestation rate, share of subjects requiring institutional care, frequency of aircraft diversions) are uncertain; this yields moderate confidence in the order-of-magnitude but significant variance around scenario outcomes.
