⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with steady containment, routine research, and no major incidents.
no breach steady research progress routine PR/liaison work
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized memetic leak or small exposure event requiring supplemental medical, legal, and transport expenses.
localized memetic exposure small number of affected staff limited public attention
🚨 Major Breach $6.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or cross-jurisdictional propagation requiring demolition/sequestration, large legal settlements, and large-scale remediation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are low-confidence due to SCP-7383's surreal/memetic nature, uncertain scaling of effluence, and jurisdictional/legal unpredictability; many line items are order-of-magnitude estimates rather than precise bids.
