⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with scheduled remanifests and routine operations; no major incidents or large-scale exposures.

🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Localized spike in remanifest intensity / larger exposed population requiring an expanded sweep and extra travel/legal support.

🚨 Major Breach $11.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Cross-jurisdictional exposure or mass dissemination of SCP-6941-B requiring national-level suppression, mass amnestics, major legal action and international coordination.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many line-item estimates and sensible operational assumptions (MTF size, remanifest frequency, per-treatment costs), but several items are ranges or contingent on remanifest behavior and possible double-counting between amnestic-related items; contingency/reserve and breach scenarios are especially uncertain.
