SCP-1100

Expected annual

$12.6M

One-time setup

$14.3M

Annual recurring

$11.1M

Personnel

Initial containment and redundancy require an upfront investment (~$14.3M) driven by reinforced containment, redundant vessels, backup systems and an emergency reserve; ongoing annual costs (~$11.08M/yr) are dominated by intelligence, research, legal/cover operations, and contingency top-ups.

Initial Research And Lab Setup $125K

[#4] Initial training/validation for remote transfer procedures and initial procedural certification.

Extreme Diversion Authorization Reserve $0

[#23] Contingency (chemical/nuclear diversion) acknowledged but not funded as a baseline one-time cost here; event-level costs are catastrophic and handled in scenarios.

[#20] Funded investigations into provenance, forensics, sequencing and special investigations (mid-range ongoing program).

Cover Story And Legal $1.2M/yr

[#22, #17] Legal/diplomatic/covert cover operations baseline including liaison, PR management and limited community compensation budgeting; large payouts handled per-outbreak.

Contingency Fund Topup $1.0M/yr

[#25] Recurring top-ups to liability/reserve fund to maintain readiness for mid- to large-scale responses.

Staff Wages $600K/yr

[#7, #11, #10] Salaries and benefits for security staff (armed guards/management), daily inspection technician(s) and basic medical/occupational health staff for routine surveillance.

Research And Monitoring $200K/yr

[#27, #5] Ongoing environmental/public-health surveillance, sentinel sampling and basic analytical monitoring separate from funded investigative research programs.

Public Health Surveillance $200K/yr

[#27] Ongoing testing programs in surrounding areas (air/flora/fauna sampling, sentinel animals).

Community Influence Payments $200K/yr

[#29] Payments and influence operations to local authorities and stakeholders on an ongoing, jurisdiction-dependent basis.

Facilities Maintenance $155K/yr

[#3, #6, #9] Vacuum/environmental control maintenance and consumables, generator fuel and maintenance, decontamination/disposal contract baseline.

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst-supplied ranges and detailed line items provide moderate confidence in baseline and recurring estimates; major outbreak/contingency costs are highly uncertain and scenario-driven, lowering overall confidence.
