⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, monitoring, and scheduled research.
no trespass events regular maintenance and research steady municipal cooperation
🚨 Minor Incident $2.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Limited trespass or localized contamination event requiring response, short-term quarantine, and additional testing.
civilian trespass small contamination requiring quarantine localized equipment replacement
🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment compromise or event that threatens SCP-7993 containment, requiring emergency neutralization, partial use of contingency fund, legal settlements and major upgrades.
large-scale breach/exposure failure of redundancies public exposure / litigation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are drawn from analyst-provided ranges and midpoints; uncertainties remain around land cost variability, scope of SCP-7993 redundancy work, contingency utilization, and incident probabilities, so figures are moderately certain but subject to adjustment.
