⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal uninterrupted year: steady operations, routine research, no major incidents.
no breach routine research activities standard staffing levels
🚨 Minor Incident $8.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Limited containment incident or equipment failure requiring rapid response, short investigations, and increased amnestic/medical use.
localized breach equipment failure small-scale exposure events
🚨 Major Breach $18.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or public exposure requiring large-scale emergency response, heavy legal/PR spending, use of contingency funds and possible redeployment of resources.
large-scale containment failure public exposure/legal crisis multiple personnel affected

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs derived from analyst ranges but the object is memetic/antimemetic and biologically anomalous with many unknowns (number/behavior of SCP-6749-A instances, memetic potency), producing high uncertainty; ranges and contingency dominate the estimate.
