⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $70.1M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous monitoring, research, and readiness; no major incidents.
no breach routine operations expected research & monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $70.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$0 vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are wide-ranging estimates based on large uncertainty about SCP-8111's mobility, willingness to be interacted with, and the scale of downstream anomalies; many line items are order-of-magnitude ranges and contingent on Overseer policy decisions.
