⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine maintenance, training, research and RRT on-call; no major incidents.
no sightings routine operations scheduled research activities
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Single-site sighting requiring RRT mobilization, limited medevac/medical response, small PR/legal response and follow-up testing.
isolated sighting RRT dispatch minor medical treatment
🚨 Major Breach $2.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$900K vs baseline
Larger public exposure or sustained anomalous activity requiring airlift, major PR/legal action, large-scale research response and contingency activation.
public exposure multiple-site activity legal escalation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $1.5M/yr
6.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Field results demand expanded research and additional controlled trials, requiring hiring/contracting and equipment scale-up.
promising results requirement for expanded trials additional equipment procurement

📋 Confidence Notes
SCP-7247 is an anomalous, Outside-class phenomenon with considerable operational uncertainty (frequency of appearances, escalation likelihood, and research outcomes). Analyst notes provide ranges and many assumptions; contingency needs and incident costs are highly scenario-dependent, so confidence in numeric precision is low.
