SCP-1125

Expected annual

$4.2M

One-time setup

$112.1M

Annual recurring

$3.8M

Personnel

One-time initial outlay is dominated by large contingencies for discovery, seizure and public-remediation (totaling roughly $112M in this estimate); baseline recurring costs are about $3.85M/year driven by contingency fund replenishment, legal/PR, MTF operations and ongoing staffing and research.

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	2	[#7] 2 guards assigned to SIV (24/7 posture); salaries+benefits+overtime included in staff_wages.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges provided in analyst notes; recurring budget is well-accounted for (staffing, licensing, MTF ops) but one-time catastrophic contingencies are highly uncertain, producing medium confidence overall.
