⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.6M/yr
55.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with steady-state containment, routine research activity, occasional single rescues at expected baseline rates.
no major mass-event scheduled research operations normal staff turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $6.8M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Single severe rescue/recovery requiring expensive ER care, short-term surge transport and additional rehab for affected individual(s).
single severe injury to SCP-7743-1 empathic intervention required hospitalization and short rehab
🚨 Major Breach $9.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.3M vs baseline
Multi-person social event inside exclusion zone produces mass-casualty rescue and major public exposure control costs.
mass social gathering inside zone many SCP-7743-1 casualties large-scale emergency medical surge and PR/legal response
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $10.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Neutralization/mitigation R&D shows promise and program is rapidly scaled for intensive testing and containment-level trials.
promising neutralization lead expanded containment testing additional staffing and capital purchases

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 5 [#4] 24/7 on-site containment guards (EAS<2), covering 3 shifts plus leave/backfill; count chosen within analyst 4–6 range and reflected in staff_wages estimate.
On-call Empathic Specialist 2 [#7] Small on-call empathic intervention team (1–4 in notes); salaries/hazard premiums included in staff_wages.
Research Scientist 8 [#16] Multi-disciplinary research team (psychologists, sociologists, neurobiologists, technicians); analyst suggested 6–12 — midpoint used and funded within research_and_monitoring budget.
Engineer / Maintenance 2 [#8, #22] Robotics/operators and facility maintenance personnel (robot servicing, site/hardening upkeep) funded across logistics and facilities_maintenance budgets.
Medical Officer 1 [#11, #12] On-call medical oversight and coordination with external hospitals; acute care largely external but medical officer coordinates remote stabilization and rehab.
Administrative Staff 1 [#18, #29] Site/admin lead for legal/cover-story coordination, HR, procurement and liaison tasks (costs included in misc_overhead and cover_story_and_legal budgets).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many key drivers are highly uncertain in frequency and scale (rescue rates, willingness to buy adjacent parcels, success/timeframe for neutralization R&D). Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and several assumed baseline incident rates; therefore confidence in point estimates is low.
