Initial one-time capital to bring SCP-077 to specification is approximately $1.56M, driven by vault construction, ventilation/scrubber installation, research/software development and an initial contingency reserve. Ongoing annual operating costs are approximately $3.46M/year, driven by security payroll, the D-Class program, research/linguist staffing, hazardous-waste handling and contingency/top-up reserves.
