⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.3M/yr
68.0% probability / year
Normal year with regular monitoring, no major incidents; scheduled R&D and maintenance continue.
no major manifestations outside normal pattern scheduled maintenance and research continue
🚨 Minor Incident $3.5M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
One or more localized manifestations requiring emergency response, consumable resupply, overtime, and minor equipment replacements.
localized manifestation near Director corruption of several sensors/equipment minor staff injuries requiring medical and overtime
🚨 Major Breach $4.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$850K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or high-severity manifestation causing equipment loss, large-scale forensics, relocation of Director, and PR/legal escalation.
widespread sensor corruption and equipment loss serious personnel casualties or security breach forced Director relocation/temporary site shutdown
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $5.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
R&D yields a lead that requires rapid scale-up: large field expeditions, artifact procurement, and multi-year project funding.
promising ontokinetic tracking results need for large-scale contractor/artifact procurement
👥 Personnel 17 total
Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Thaumaturgist 5 [#3] Senior thaumaturgist (1), two ontokinetics researchers (2), and two research assistants (2) forming the specialized thaumaturgy/ontokinetics team referenced in salary estimates.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] 24/7 security presence (8–12 guards across 3 shifts); modeled as 10 guards for budgeting and staffing rotations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many items are broad ranges and several costs (R&D, artifact procurement, contingency reserve sizing) have high uncertainty; SCP is anomalous and behavior is not fully predictable, reducing confidence in precise estimates.
