One-time containment and infrastructure buildout estimated at several hundred million USD (driven by hardened facilities, appeasement estate options, and contingency reserves).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $46.4M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing operations, staff, R&D, maintenance and modest contingency top-ups.
no major breaches routine maintenance and research minor expected relocations
🚨 Minor Incident $48.4M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized record contamination or small breach requiring emergency deployment, targeted replacements and increased legal/PR activity.
small containment breach localized data corruption targeted emergency response
🚨 Major Breach $146.4M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Large-scale breach or widespread memetic contamination requiring mass data replacement, major legal settlements and infrastructure repair.
widespread record corruption public exposure major infrastructure compromise
🚨 Containment Impossible $246.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Determination that SCP-732 cannot be contained conventionally, triggering sustained nationwide denial/suppression campaign or long-term appeasement program.
uncontainable memetic spread decision to fund indefinite suppression full-scale appeasement program

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to the SCP's memetic and unpredictable effects, wide cost ranges in analyst notes, and multiple valid containment strategies (appeasement vs. hard containment vs. denial). Many line items are scenario-dependent and subject to large variance.
