⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.8B/yr

75.0% probability / year

Normal year: steady containment operations, routine replenishment and no major incident.

no large-scale surge routine operations planned replenishment only

🚨 Minor Incident $7.3B/yr

20.0% probability / year +$500.0M vs baseline

Localized surge(s) in multiple cities requiring overtime, modest emergency medical surge and partial contingency drawdown.

regional cluster of manifestations increased ICU admissions temporary extra patrols and legal costs

🚨 Major Outbreak $9.3B/yr

5.0% probability / year +$2.5B vs baseline

Widespread surge across many cities requiring full contingency activation, mass antidote deployment, large compensation payouts and major emergency logistics.

simultaneous multi-city outbreaks rapid depletion of stockpiles significant fatalities and political exposure

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are built from broad ranges in analyst notes and depend heavily on assumed geographic scope (~1,000 cities), incidence rates and chemical manufacturing assumptions; the anomalous, global and logistically complex nature of SCP-7671 reduces confidence in precise figures.
