⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.5M/yr
82.9% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; annual recurring costs only.

🚨 Minor Incident $5.7M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$175K vs baseline
Single internal understanding event requiring termination/replacement and elevated legal/investigative activity.

🚨 Major Breach $7.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized public exposure or larger leak requiring substantial disinformation/amnestic response and major legal action.

🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $105.5M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Widespread 'understanding' event causing mass epistemic risk requiring global-scale mitigation (mass amnestics/disinformation or other interventions).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide numerous line-item estimates and a clear operating model, enabling a mid-level confidence in numeric aggregation; nonetheless SCP-7208 is memetic/axiomatic and outcomes (flag rates, public-exposure scale) are highly uncertain, so some contingency risk remains.
