Liz The GM's Proposal

Expected annual

$14.3M

One-time setup

$13.5M

Annual recurring

$12.6M

Personnel

One-time setup costs are dominated by insurance/reserve and contingency funds plus facility/equipment buildout (~$13.5M). Ongoing yearly operations (security, research, legal/cover operations, testing and logistics) are estimated at about $12.6M/year, with episodic incidents potentially adding tens to hundreds of millions.

🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $13.5M

Insurance Reserve One Time $5.0M

[#24] Initial contingent reserve for large settlements, hush-money, or catastrophic legal exposure.

Emergency Reserve $2.0M

[#18] Rapid-response contingency reserve for escalations, extra retrievals, emergency legal action, and urgent containment repairs.

Equipment $1.9M

[#5, #12, #14, #20] Laboratory instrumentation (cameras, spectrometers, test rigs, Faraday cages), initial cybersecurity tooling, initial armored vehicles, and data-archival hardware.

Facilities $1.6M

[#2, #7, #28] Containment suite construction, secure storage vault buildout, and optional long-term archive/museum initial capital costs.

Initial Research And Lab Setup $1.5M

[#23] Replacement-toy R&D, pilot design and initial manufacturing R&D/pilot run.

Initial Retrieval Ops $1.0M

[#1] Covert field ops, reconnaissance, special-forces insertion and extraction planning; single-major-op capture/retrieval budget.

Cover Company Setup $500K

[#10] One-time setup for a plausible cover company / fake recall infrastructure (legal registration, initial logistics, branding).

Cybersecurity Initial Tooling $0

[]

Armored Transport Initial $0

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.6M/yr

87.5% probability / year

Normal year with routine operations, sample testing and steady monitoring; no major public incidents or large-scale recalls.

no major exposures steady sample intake routine legal/PR activity

🚨 Minor Incident $14.6M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline

Localized consumer exposure requiring targeted recalls, additional retrievals, localized amnestic administration and accelerated legal/PR work.

localized product exposure small consumer panic targeted recall

🚨 Major Breach $37.6M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline

Large-scale distribution discovered or a public incident causing widespread recall, many civilian exposures, major legal action and international retrieval surge.

broad distribution detected multi-jurisdictional litigation mass recall operations

🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $212.6M/yr

0.5% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline

Very rare catastrophic year with mass civilian exposures, nationwide panic, massive legal settlements and emergency government-level intervention.

nationwide exposure mass litigation and public scrutiny large-scale amnestic campaign

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are low-confidence due to high uncertainty in SCP distribution scale, per-item complexity variance, litigation exposure, and frequency/severity of incidents; many categories have wide ranges and scenario-driven skew.
