⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.8M/yr

🚨 Minor Incident $8.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized incident (single-pair public exposure or messy scene) requiring extra forensics, cleanup, temporary PR/legal actions and limited overtime.

🚨 Major Breach $10.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Containment failure leading to public exposure in a populated area or multiple simultaneous incidents requiring large emergency response, legal costs, expanded PR, and accelerated recontainment efforts.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $32.8M/yr

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist (memetics/theology/behavioral/data) 12 [#3, #4] Core R&D and analysis team (memeticists, tactical theology, behavioral analysts, data scientists) whose salaries are included in staff_wages.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#5] Armed guards and 24/7 on-site security staffing to maintain perimeter, access control and routine patrols; wages included in staff_wages.
Tactical Operators / Rapid Response 4 [#5, #12] Rapid-intervention tactical team for recontainment/search-and-recovery operations; higher-grade wages included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates aggregate many uncertain inputs (anomalous behaviour, R&D success probability, incident frequency). SCP is uncontained and atypical; wide cost ranges and rare/high-impact tail events lower confidence.
