Annual recurring
$1.1M
Personnel
11
Initial setup is dominated by a recommended contingency/reserve and land/legal purchase, with recurring costs driven largely by security and scientific staffing; expected annual operations are roughly $1.1M. Major incident response would add large, low-frequency costs.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $911K
Contingency Reserve $500K
[#19] Recommended emergency/reserve fund for rapid-response, retrieval, public safety, amnestics and large relocation incidents.
Legal And Land Purchase $130K
[#18] One-time land purchase option and initial legal/settlement/retainer costs related to land/access and cover establishment.
Facilities $80K
[#1] Construction or retrofit of a 3m x 3m x 3m reinforced containment chamber with HVAC, tamper-proof door, sealed penetrations and alarm integration.

Vehicles $60K
[#5] Purchase of two all-terrain/utility vehicles for field patrols and transport.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $50K
[#13] Initial analytical testing access/setup (SEM, mass spec, CT, spectroscopy) or capital access/setup for research-grade instruments.
Personnel Clearance Initial $12K
[#24] Initial background investigations and clearance processing for initial hires (guards and scientists).

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#4] Eight FTE to provide 2-person coverage 24/7 (rotations, leave, overlap).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided line-item estimates across most cost categories; however uncertainty remains around contingency sizing, land purchase vs lease decisions, and the SCP's anomalous power/memetic behavior which could materially change equipment or incident costs.
