⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no containment breaches or relocations; routine research, monitoring, legal takedowns, and scheduled drills.
no incident regular maintenance standard legal takedowns
🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$-15000 vs baseline
Localized leak or public exposure requiring escalated legal action, limited amnestic usage, overtime for emergency response, and PR expenditure.
public leak escalated takedown short-term emergency response
🚨 Relocation Move $3.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$-115000 vs baseline
Planned or emergency relocation of SCP-9056 between sites requiring specialized transport, temporary remote containment, crane/hoist operations and transit security.
site consolidation security-driven relocation infrastructure failure at host site
🚨 Major Breach $4.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or sustained memetic spread requiring large-scale emergency R&D, broad amnestic campaigns, legal settlements and replacement of equipment/infrastructure.
containment breach widespread leak sustained public exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and typical Foundation cost structures; wide ranges for specialized robotics, memetic R&D and contingency reserve reduce precision. Many recurring items (legal escalation, breach responses) are scenario-driven and thus uncertain.
