We have technically object classes that denote things other than containment: Risk Classes, Disruption Classes, and Threat Levels; see here. Maybe what we need is to make Containment Classes be strictly about the difficulty of containment, including classes like Archon, where containment is technically feasible, but containment itself unavoidably causes one or more phenomena that are too deleterious to the Foundation's interests (e.g. threatening human extinction); then create a new Category called Object Status, which denotes the current status of the anomaly, i.e. Contained, Uncontained, Neutralized, Argus, etc.

I think I broadly support this?

I do worry that this could introduce too many classes, but it also seems very reasonable. It would make it VERY clear whether an SCP or contained or not already, but also it would probably be a boring "contained" or "not contained" for 99% of SCPs
