⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $16.9M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; ongoing containment, rituals, staffing, monitoring and cover maintenance.
routine operations scheduled research and monitoring no containment breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $18.9M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency response, repairs, short-term external contracting and medical care.
small breach or ritual-driven casualty equipment failure requiring specialist contractors
🚨 Major Breach $66.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring large-scale emergency operations, mass remediation/evacuation and heavy use of catastrophic reserves.
site-wide containment failure widespread ritual escalation or reality alteration regional evacuation/remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide broad ranges for every major cost category but SCP description lacks operational specifics (hazard type, biohazard level, mobility). Estimates use mid-range/hardened-containment assumptions for a village-integrated Site; uncertainties in local land costs, true scope of rituals/effects and escalation probability reduce confidence.
