First-year capital/setup costs are dominated by large contingency reserves and one-time structural modifications (~$17.47M total one-time). Recurring annual operations (security, MTF, research, logistics, and maintenance) are mid‑$millions (~$5.39M/yr), driven mainly by personnel wages and ongoing research/survey operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.4M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous 24/7 monitoring, scheduled surveys, and routine maintenance; no significant incidents or breaches.

🚨 Minor Incident $5.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized unauthorized entry or small containment incident requiring surge response, extra detentions/amnestic administrations, short-term repairs and legal engagement.

🚨 Major Breach $7.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or rapid expansion of anomalous area requiring large-scale recovery operations, inner containment construction, and heavy use of reserves.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Plainclothes 12 [#3] Plainclothes security staff to monitor entrances 24/7; analyst assumed ~12 FTEs.
MTF Agent / Tau-1165 12 [#4] MTF Tau-1165 full assignment (squad-strength readiness) assumed ~12 specialists.
Operations Center / Communications Operator 6 [#14] Central operations & communications center staffing; analyst specified 6 FTEs.
Medical Officer / Medic 2 [#16] Medical staff & facility operation (nurses/medic support); staffing inferred from recurring cost ($250k/yr) ~2 FTEs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and credible order-of-magnitude estimates for personnel and equipment, but many figures are intentionally approximate and several large contingency/reserve items are speculative due to the anomalous nature of SCP-1165.
