⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $73.4M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine maintenance, staff wages, reserves and scheduled programs funded.
No breaches Routine operations only
🚨 Minor Incident $74.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized breach or recontainment event requiring modest emergency response and equipment replacement.
Small recontainment operation Targeted evidence removal Minor equipment losses
🚨 Major Breach $93.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring large-scale deployment, replacement of major equipment and drawing on emergency reserve.
Multiple entity escapes Extended recontainment operations Heavy equipment replacement
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $173.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Large-scale, prolonged containment failure requiring international-level response, site rebuilds, and major expenditures.
Sustained multi-site failures Mass-casualty or public exposure Extensive infrastructure loss

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and clear operational requirements, allowing mid-confidence estimates; large ranges for land purchase, reserves and emergency funds and the anomalous nature of SCP-6746 reduce precision, so estimates are midpoint-based and should be treated as order-of-magnitude.
