Nagiros's Proposal
Expected annual
$2.1B
One-time setup
$36.2B
Annual recurring
$1.9B
Personnel
870
Estimated upfront capital to establish containment and strategic reserves is in the tens of billions (one-time ~36.2B) driven by deep-underground containment, specialized ontological hardware, dedicated power and planetary-scale contingency assets; baseline recurring operations are high due to specialized staff, global monitoring, and strategic reserves (~1.865B/yr), producing an expected annual cost of ~2.13B after risk-weighted contingencies.

[#2, #5, #6, #7, #9, #10] Procurement and fabrication of ontological anchors/probability dampeners/antimemetic emitters, armor and tactical equipment procurement, reserve automatized forces procurement (drones/ground bots/quantum-hardened control), anomalous/conventional armament procurement, capital surveillance hardware/satellites and secure transport fleets.
Facilities $2.1B
[#1, #3, #15, #18] Deep-underground Absentia Cocoon chamber and support caverns, capital portion of dedicated power infrastructure construction, hardened archival buildouts and capital cost for simulation facility construction (sited containment structural works, memetic/ontological lining and vibration isolation).
Emergency Escrow Reserve $1.0B
[#22] Liquid strategic reserve held off-books for immediate deployment (amnestics, rapid evacuation, payoffs, short-term Sepulchration readiness).
Mass Amnestic Initial $300.0M
[#12] Initial program pool to establish mass amnestic production/distribution capacity and public-cover campaign seed funding.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $175.0M
[#8] High-containment laboratory buildout, specialized sensors and instrumentation for controlled incubation studies and fail-safe remote protocols specific to interaction research (SCP-4736 & UNIVERSALIS INCARNATUM).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $1.9B/yr
Opportunity Cost Equivalent $1.0B/yr
[#24] Non-cash effective diversion equivalent representing strategic resource redirection away from other missions (estimated as an annualized budget impact).
Research And Monitoring $200.0M/yr
[#2, #8, #9] Ongoing R&D recalibration/maintenance of ontological hardware, program operations for interaction research, baseline global memetic monitoring and analytic cluster costs.
Cover Story And Legal $100.0M/yr
[#12, #13] Ongoing mass-amnestic deployment budgets, public-cover operations, covert diplomacy and legal/black-ops funds for deniability and inter-state cover.
Anomalous Replacement Cycle $100.0M/yr
[#20] Program pool for replacement or recontextualization of expended/corrupted anomalous countermeasures; spikes post-incident.
Staff Wages $95.0M/yr
[#4, #5] Salaries, benefits, hazard pay and retention for high-level ontologists, memeticists, thaumaturgists, technicians (approx. research core) and baseline security staffing and handler costs (core security shifts & K-class handlers).
Facilities Maintenance $60.0M/yr
[#3, #15] Ongoing operations, maintenance and life-safety for power infrastructure (reactor/generator upkeep, UPS) and maintenance/cold-storage upkeep for hardened archives and containment facilities.
Reserve Automatized Forces Ops $60.0M/yr
[#6] Sustainment, spare parts, software/hardening updates and operational costs for reserve autonomous combat fleets and their secure control systems.
Mass Amnestic Ongoing $50.0M/yr

[#11] Campaign sustainment costs for active trench/fortification operations (sustaining 1–2 year campaigns). Set to 0 in baseline (only activated in incident scenarios).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.9B/yr
79.9% probability / year
Normal operational year with containment sustained, monitoring active, no major breaches or field campaigns.
stable containment routine research/monitoring no major kinetic events
🚨 Minor Incident $2.6B/yr
15.0% probability / year +$710.0M vs baseline
Localized breach or targeted manifestation requiring short field campaign, surge in amnestic deployment and elevated casualty/repair costs.

🚨 Major Breach $4.4B/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5B vs baseline
Sustained, large-scale breach forcing extended field operations, broad replacement of anomalous countermeasures and heavy surveillance/liaison expenditures.
widespread instancing multi-site kinetic operations large-scale asset replacement
🚨 Sepulchration Deployment $36.9B/yr
0.1% probability / year +$35.0B vs baseline
Activation/deployment of Sepulchration assets and post-event reconstruction; catastrophic, politically extreme response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are high-uncertainty due to wide analyst ranges, speculative/ontological technology costs, political contingencies, and many conditional/catastrophic line items; several major costs are intentionally discretionary/classified and difficult to price precisely.
