⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.6M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; contracted medevac, routine operations, and midpoint staffing/equipment maintenance.
steady incident rate no large-scale breaches contracted medevac used
🚨 Minor Incident $6.2M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$650K vs baseline
Localized breach/cluster of returned individuals requiring contingency activation, extra medical care, and overtime.
small containment breach multiple revivals in short window activation of contingency fund
🚨 Major Incident $7.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.9M vs baseline
Significant breach or hazardous SCP-8015-1 return requiring large mobilization, extensive remediation/repairs, and high medical/legal costs.
major buffer-zone breach mass casualties or hazardous artifact returns large-scale retrieval & remediation
👥 Personnel 33 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 21 [#4] Continuous perimeter patrols (three shifts, covers absences) as described in #4.
Quick Reaction Team / Medics / Specialists 8 [#5] Specialist QRT complement for breaches/medical stabilization (midpoint of 6–10).
Research Scientist 4 [#12] Research team (3–6 personnel) for analysis of SCP-8015-1 items and monitoring.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are midpoint order-of-magnitude figures based on analyst ranges and regional context. High uncertainty remains for land-acquisition costs near Vancouver (#1) and the true frequency/severity of SCP-8015-1 returns; site survey and incident frequency data would materially improve confidence.
