🚨 Major Breach $16.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant multi-item release, larger extraction effort, temporary expansion of vault/BSL access and public suppression efforts.

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges in analyst estimates, multiple policy-dependent choices (keeping item on-person vs full containment), and open-ended nature of SCP-7624-1 lead to substantial uncertainty. Figures are mid-range, programmatic estimates rather than precise quotes.
