Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$6.9M/yr
Normal uneventful year with containment holding; recurring operating costs only.
no major breaches
normal production rate of SCP-9530-1
no large legal incidents
🚨
Minor Incident
$7.6M/yr
Localized breach or escalated production requiring emergency response, repairs, ammo and legal expenses.
small perimeter breach
limited surge of SCP-9530-1
medical treatments and limited legal exposure
🚨
Production Surge
$9.4M/yr
Sustained increase in spawn-rate of SCP-9530-1 causing doubled resource needs for storage, autopsies, disposal and staffing.
large/uncontrolled increase in instance production
mass storage and disposal demand
heightened research/autopsy throughput

Confidence Notes
Many cost drivers depend on the unknown and random production rate of SCP-9530-1 and potential containment instability; analyst ranges are broad and several contingency items are highly scenario-dependent, reducing confidence.
