Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $2.03M driven by construction (lead-lined chamber), perimeter defenses, specialized equipment and land acquisition; ongoing annual costs are approximately $2.06M driven by security/animal-handling staff, legal/cover costs, disposal/necropsy operations, and contingency reserves.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.1M/yr
81.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine maintenance, staffing, monitoring, and small incident reserves used as needed; no major influx or breach.

🚨 Minor Influx $2.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$55K vs baseline
Localized small influx of domestic/feral cats requiring extra capture/euthanasia and disposal operations and temporary overtime.

🚨 Major Influx $2.6M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$480K vs baseline
Large influx event requiring mass-trap deployment, significant extra staffing, mass disposal and elevated PR/legal payouts.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Containment breach with emergence of anomalous entities (SCP-1381-01/02), mass security response, site damage, casualties and significant legal/public exposure costs.

👥 Personnel 17 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#6] Rotating 24/7 security coverage to prevent civilian approach and manage on-site threats; headcount reflects a robust rotating force.
Animal Handler / Wildlife Specialist 4 [#7] Full-time animal handlers and trappers experienced with felids for capture, restraint and on-call responses.
Veterinarian / Medical Officer 1 [#8] On-site or retainer veterinarian for medical oversight, necropsy and humane euthanasia operations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: containment hardware and staffing costs are reasonably well-bounded, but the area-of-effect (15 km), frequency of animal attraction, and magnitude of potential influxes/breaches introduce sizable uncertainty. Scenario probabilities and incident costs are judgement-based given historic breach data.
