⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.6M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents: regular purchases of B1 units, routine research, MTF readiness and maintenance, legal retainer and monitoring of properties.

no breaches cooperative GoI behavior routine operations

🚨 Minor Incident $11.1M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

Localized exposure or unauthorized civilian sale requiring rapid legal action, small property buyout or targeted MTF response.

unauthorized civilian sale small-scale exposure limited containment intervention

🚨 Major Breach $15.6M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant breach, mass property seizure or hostile reneging by SCP-9106 requiring large-scale containment, asset acquisition and extended research/MTF operations.

hostile GoI actions mass civilian exposure widespread anomalous property activation

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use analyst-provided rough figures; major uncertainty is SCP-9106's per-unit B1 pricing (single largest driver) and the variable number/complexity of properties requiring intervention, so totals have moderate uncertainty.
