SCP-1203 Euclid ~ medium confidence
SCP-1203
Expected annual
$1.5M
One-time setup
$840K
Annual recurring
$1.5M
Personnel
12
Initial one-time setup is moderate-to-high due to secure cell, birthing suite outfitting, contingency fund and specialized neonatal equipment (~$840k). Ongoing annual operations are staff-driven (security + medical) with extensive support, monitoring, IT, and overhead creating recurring costs of about $1.48M/yr.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Small containment incident or medical complication requiring overtime, repairs, and limited investigation.

🚨 Major Breach $1.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or violent incident requiring emergency remediation, legal action, and possible relocation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have well-defined operational drivers (security, medical staffing, monitoring) but cost ranges and low-frequency events (birth spikes, breach remediation) introduce uncertainty. Equipment lifetime, site preexisting capabilities, and policy choices (separate infant cell vs shared containment) materially affect one-time totals.
