🚨 Major Breach $1.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Multiple-window destruction or containment breach spreading SCP-965 manifestations to adjacent facilities requiring multi-team response, multiple replacements, medical treatments, and community mitigation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for nearly all categories (facilities, equipment, staffing, monitoring), so cost structure is fairly well-defined; uncertainty remains in seismic-containment capital costs, local property acquisition, incident frequencies, and variability in security/research staffing, so confidence is not high.
