⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $30.9M/yr

91.0% probability / year

Normal year with ongoing monitoring, responses to ~75–100 events, routine research, and standard legal/cover operations.

normal_event_rate no_large_clusters no major leaks

🚨 Cluster Outbreak $38.9M/yr

4.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline

Multiple simultaneous SCP-9167 events exceed regional capacity, requiring emergency charters, temporary housing, expanded medical/forensic surge and tapping contingency reserves.

geographic cluster mass-casualty incident seasonal/local amplifier

🚨 Major Breach $35.9M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant information leak or operational failure leads to lawsuits, extended legal/PR campaigns, whistleblower payouts and elevated remediation costs.

data leak operative exposure high-profile litigation

🚨 Political Exposure $42.9M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline

Local or national political exposure forces large-scale relocation/identity programs, heavy litigation, and expedited global mitigations (e.g., rapid retrofits, mass stipends).

media/political scandal cross-jurisdictional investigations

👥 Personnel 154 total

Role	Count	Notes
Analyst / Monitoring Staff	16	[#2] 24/7 global analysts for triage and liaison (note #2 midpoint staffing estimate ~16 analysts).
Security Officer / MTF Agent	48	[#3] Regional rapid-response teams (note #3 assumed ~6 teams × ~8 personnel = 48 on-duty responders).
Reassigned Dentist (first-year stipend recipients)	90	[#12] Dentists placed on first-year salary/stipends as part of reassignment program (note #12 assumes ~90 dentists concurrently receiving first-year support).

📋 Confidence Notes

Mid-level confidence: analyst notes provide ranges for most items and event frequency, enabling midpoint estimates, but uncertainty remains around incident severity clustering, jurisdictional legal exposure, and long-term scaling of monitoring.
