⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, research, and maintenance only.
no breach routine research activity normal staff rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
7.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small-scale containment disturbance requiring rapid-response mobilization, local repairs, and limited medical/cleanup costs.
localized web obstruction requiring removal minor medical treatment temporary equipment replacement
🚨 Major Breach $4.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or structural failure requiring evacuation, heavy mitigation, contracted specialists, and large-scale cleanup.
structural collapse large-scale relocation of heavy items by SCP-7388-A public exposure requiring compensation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $5.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Discovery that SCP-7388-1 or SCP-7388-A has high scientific/military/economic value requiring rapid expansion of research, security, and legal containment measures.
