⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.4M/yr
89.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing R&D, maintenance, security, and monitoring at planned levels.
no breaches no scale-up activation routine testing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized equipment failure, limited memetic exposure, or small containment incident requiring repair and response.
equipment failure localized memetic leak minor containment breach
🚨 Major Breach $7.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges and specific program elements, enabling a reasoned estimate, but wide ranges and anomalous behavior of SCP-7967 (nonfunctional state, uncertain production potential) produce moderate uncertainty.
