Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with standard containment, regular seizures and maintenance; no major incidents.
routine seizures scheduled maintenance regular research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $3.5M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment breach of one SCP-8560-2 or small cluster requiring MTF response, extra incineration, amnestics and medical support.
single SCP-8560-2 escape/containment event small-scale incineration & MTF deployment
🚨 Major Breach $8.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach (site-scale) similar in severity to historical Incident 8560-A requiring mass response, rebuild, legal action and major incineration operations.
site breach mass SCP-8560-2 production large-scale civilian exposure
🚨 Research Scale Up $4.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Spike in SCP-8560 production or a research-driven decision to scale containment capacity rapidly (additional modules, staffing and incineration throughput).
production rate spike policy decision to scale containment
👥 Personnel 6.6 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Observer 6 [#3] Six FTE observers (2 per shift × 3 shifts) assigned to continuous observation duties.
Nurse / Med Tech 0.5 [#4] 0.5 FTE nurse/med tech allocated to medication compounding and dosing program.
Clinical Psychologist (contracted hours) 0.1 [#5] Monthly psychological care sessions budgeted; represented as part-time/contracted clinical support.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items include explicit analyst estimates and most costs are enumerated, supporting a reasonable cost model; uncertainty remains from policy choices (on-site incinerator vs contractor), allocation splits in MTF operational budget vs salaries, and unpredictable production/breach frequency.
