SCP-1410
Expected annual
$2.8M
One-time setup
$2.9M
Annual recurring
$2.8M
Personnel
23
One-time setup is approximately $2.9M driven by chamber conversions, vault construction, robotics and a contingency reserve; recurring annual costs are approximately $2.81M driven primarily by continuous 24/7 staffing and dedicated research personnel.

Equipment $410K
[#5, #6, #13] Containment pedestal, padded transport container and robotic handling rig (#5); environmental/optical sensing, CCTV and automated alerting (#6); servers and on-site communications hardware/install (#13 ONE-TIME portion).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $400K
[#9] Purchase of analytical instrumentation (GC-MS/LC-MS, spectrophotometry/high-speed optical rigs) and lab buildout for in-house analysis (instrument purchase option).
Safeguards Implementation $90K
[#20] Implementation of mechanical restraints, tethering, intercom check-ins, automatic lockouts and verification hardware (ONE-TIME installation of redundant safeguards).
Decommissioning Plan $75K

[#17] Medical monitoring, psychological evaluations, counseling and incident medical care for staff exposed to SCP-1410 and its illusions.
Research And Monitoring $110K/yr
[#9, #24] Recurring contract assays/outsourced lab work and consumables if instruments are not purchased or for overflow (#9 recurring option), plus optional outsourced high-end analytic services and specialist consultants (#24).
Cover Story And Legal $50K/yr
[#18] Annual legal, public affairs, and cover-story maintenance costs (recurring retainer, liaison and contingency PR work).
Supplies And Consumables $35K/yr

Training And Drills $25K/yr
[#16] Recurring training, drills and protocol refreshers to maintain handling competence and illusion-awareness.
Logistics And Transport $10K/yr
[] Routine logistics for transfers, small equipment transport and contingency travel (no single Stage-1 line item exclusively maps here; small recurring operational transport costs estimated).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.8M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine rotations, research and maintenance.
no breach routine research standard rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $3.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring overtime, minor repairs, incident medical care, short-term surge in analysis and limited reconfiguration.
attendant compromised by illusion minor contamination or damage short-term equipment failure
🚨 Major Breach $4.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or escalation requiring emergency refit, major equipment replacement, large overtime payroll, external contractors and potential legal/PR expenditures.
widespread compromise of attendants structural/vault damage large-scale contamination

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#2, #7] Armed guard staffing for Chamber 1410-B (continuous armed post with shift coverage).
Containment Attendant (non-armed) 12 [#7] Non-armed attendants covering Chamber 1410-C (two-person continuous post with shift coverage) and Chamber 1410-D (one-person continuous post with shift coverage).
Research Scientist / Supervising Researcher 3 [#8, #21] Supervising researcher(s) interpreting perspirations and senior cognitive/optical researchers working on anomaly analysis.
Lab Technician / Data Analyst 2 [#9, #21] Technical staff operating instruments, doing sample prep and analyzing optical/chemical data.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and explicit staffing guidance; uncertainty remains around frequency of perspiration-driven moves, instrument purchase vs. contract testing choices, and true probability of incidents so confidence is medium.
