📊 Baseline (baseline) $96.0M/yr
83.0% probability / year

🚨 Minor Incident $101.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

local leak or exposure small-scale containment breach
🚨 Major Breach $146.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment or operational compromise inside SCP-7015 territory requiring large-scale response, asset relocation and military contingency activation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a reasoned midpoint estimate, but major drivers (thaumaturgical R&D scale, political escalation, contingency drawdowns) are highly uncertain so overall confidence is medium.
