Containment Classes
SCPs can be classified by the level of "danger" or "usefulness". Each SCP can be divided into certain classes:
Safe
These are SCPs that are really easily contained or that require very few resources to do so. However, they may still be dangerous, but can still be stopped with ease.
Euclid
These SCPs have a medium-level difficulty of containment, although most of the times this does not come from it being too dangerous, but from not being sufficiently understood or predictable.
Keter
These are SCPs that require high amount of resources to contain them or that haven´t yet been contained. The problem normally comes from a lack of a certain type of resource required to trap them. In contrast to the safe SCPs, they can aswell not be dangerous, just difficult to contain. Harmless teleporting SCPs are an example of this.
Thaumiel
SCPs whose main purpose is to counteract or contain other SCPs.
Neutralized
These are anomalies that have already been disabled either accidentally or intentionally.Apollyon
Almost uncontainable SCPs who tend to breach confinement often. Most of them are usually the cause of world-ending catasrophies(referred to as K-Class scenarios) and require almost unachievable amounts of resources to get them into containment.
Anomalous
SCPs with the lowest threat level, being easier to contain even than the Safe class ones.
Archon
These SCPs are intentionally not contained as they produce a positive effect on the world, and that could result in catatrophic scenarios if disabled.Other classification procedures
SCPs can also be classified into other sub-groups which don´t refer to the containment difficulty but to other statystics they may have. Some examples of these are:
- Clearance levels: who has access to information regarding a certain SCP.
- Disruption classes: How many people/how big of an area would be disrupted by the SCP(which does not only mean damages).
- Risk classes: How anomalous the effects the SCP has are.
- Threat levels: How much potential damage can this SCP cause.
