Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$31.0M/yr
Normal year with no major incidents; steady-state operations, maintenance, and research funding only.
steady operations
no breaches
routine equipment attrition
🚨
Minor Incident
$29.0M/yr
Localized incidents such as multiple drone losses, short-term reprogramming of unattended devices, or small equipment damage requiring replacement and MTF limited deployment.
drone destruction
sensor reprogramming
small-scale equipment damage
🚨
Major Breach
$57.5M/yr
Significant containment failure or hostile reactivation (SCP-7456-2 activity or Xylaris escalation) requiring full MTF deployment, large equipment replacement, international emergency response and reserve drawdown.
SCP-7456-2 reactivation
Xylaris hostile actions
structural/subterranean destabilization
🚨
Political Exposure
$47.5M/yr
Exposure or discovery event requiring large-scale cover-up, diplomatic payments, amnestic campaigns, and international legal costs.
civilian discovery
local authority leak
international media exposure

Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst ranges and numerous contingency assumptions; SCP behavior (Xylaris interactions and potential reactivation) is anomalous and uncertain, producing wide cost ranges and low confidence.
