🚨 Minor Incident $5.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Limited containment incident requiring emergency medical/amnestic re-dos, legal outreach, and extra staffing for several weeks.

🚨 Major Breach $7.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Major containment breach or exposure event requiring large-scale medical care, legal action, use of contingency reserve, and potential facility disruption.

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 4 [#6] 2–3 senior + 1–2 junior researchers (Department of Demonology / Tactical Theology) allocated to SCP-8886 research.
Engineer / Maintenance 4 [#7] AV engineers, containment techs, IT and camera technicians providing on-call maintenance and 24/7 technical support.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#8] Rotating guards covering 24/7 security post and response team staffing (estimated 6–8 assigned; using 8 for full shift coverage).
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs contain high uncertainty due to variable amnestic usage frequency, wide SCRAMBLE R&D estimates, operational choices (automation vs. human exposures), and general unpredictability of anomalous behaviour and breach probability.
