$1.2B
One-time setup
$2.5B
Annual recurring
$1.2B
Personnel
5000
Estimated one-time (capital/surge) costs are approximately $2.545B driven primarily by global SCP-514 distribution, contingency reserves, and decommissioning capabilities; recurring annual baseline readiness is approximately $1.197B driven by core personnel, site maintenance, monitoring, secrecy operations and ongoing R&D.

📋 Confidence Notes
Figures are order-of-magnitude estimates based on the analyst notes; many line items (decommissioning scope, distribution modality, diplomatic costs, and event timing) are highly uncertain, so confidence is low.
