⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.0M/yr
93.9% probability / year
Normal year with containment stable and no public exposure; routine operations and maintenance only.
no incidents regular maintenance scheduled research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $2.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Small accidental public exposure or localized memory event requiring rapid amnestic response and localized mitigation.
small public leak localized exposure targeted amnestic deployment
🚨 Major Breach $5.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Containment breach affecting multiple civilians or staff requiring multi-team response and extended amnestic operations.
multi-person forgetting event extended public exposure multi-site response required
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $27.0M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Large-scale or contagious event causing societal disruption requiring nationwide emergency response and long-term mitigation.
widespread memetic contagion institutional/systemic forgetting national emergency response
👥 Personnel 13 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#3] Three-shift roster, 2 guards per shift (6 FTE).
Research Scientist 2 [#4] Senior memetic/cognitive researchers (2 FTE).
Psychiatrist / Medical Officer 1 [#5] Full-time psychiatrist for on-call management and interventions.
Nurse 2 [#5] Nursing staff to administer treatments and support clinical operations (2 FTE).
Technician / Maintenance 1 [#6] Dedicated IT/technical technician for CCTV, servers and forensic integrity checks.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to high ambiguity about SCP scope/mechanism (single-subject vs. contagious), large cost scaling in adverse scenarios, and several analyst assumptions (midpoint selection, staffing for technician, reserve fund sizing).
