SCP-1326 Euclid ~ medium confidence
SCP-1326
Expected annual
$952K
One-time setup
$849K
Annual recurring
$927K
Personnel
12
One-time setup and containment hardware are moderate (~$849k); the dominant recurring costs are staff wages (D-class, guards, researchers) and incident/reserve budgets, yielding an annual baseline of ~$927k driven by personnel and contingency reserves.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $927K/yr
87.5% probability / year
Routine year with scheduled feedings, no major incidents; normal recurring operations only.

🚨 Minor Incident $1.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Missed feeding or small containment failure requiring local lockdown, cleanup, overtime and limited equipment replacement.

🚨 Major Breach $1.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Significant breach with multiple SCP-1326-2 activity, staff casualties, extensive equipment loss and large-scale decontamination and legal response.

🚨 Key Loss Event $1.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Loss/theft of SCP-1326-1 or compromise of key custody requiring urgent recovery operations, intense security, accelerated research and potential cross-site coordination.

Role Count Notes
D-class Personnel 5 [#6] Active rotation of D-class for readings (typical 3–6; costed at mid-range overhead).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#7] Guards and escorts allocated fractionally for feedings and lockdown response (includes supervisors).
Research Scientist 1 [#8] Senior researcher overseeing readings, safety decisions and experiments.
Research Assistant / Transcriber / Analyst 2 [#8, #19] Staff for transcription, redaction, indexing into Document 1326-82 and data curation tasks.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are well-specified with ranges; personnel- and incident-driven recurring costs are estimable but per-incident outcomes are highly variable, producing moderate overall confidence.
