$9.5M
Annual recurring
$6.1M
Personnel

Initial one-time capital (cell, plating, sensors, backup systems, and reserve) is substantial (~$9.45M). Recurring annual operations are driven by security and research/staff costs (~$6.14M/yr), with contingency/reserve and R&D being the main drivers of volatility.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $9.5M
Insurance Reserve $6.0M
[#26] Establishment of insurance-equivalent risk reserve / capital replacement fund (one-time deposit to cover catastrophic replacement/legal remediation).
Equipment $1.8M

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.1M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major breaches; regular operations, training, R&D, and reserve replenishment proceed as budgeted.
no significant breaches standard R&D cadence routine staff turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $6.7M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Localized breach or accelerated wear requiring significant repairs, replacement plating patches, sensor replacements, overtime, and short-term escalation of security and medical response.
localized plating breach targeted sensor destruction short-duration increased violence
🚨 Major Breach $10.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Catastrophic breach resulting in full cell replacement or bay rebuild, major site damage, extended transfer of assets, legal/public exposure mitigation and large-scale forensic/reconstruction efforts.
complete plate failure cascade breach triggering other SCP interactions public exposure / large casualty event

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and include event-averaged contingency allocations; containment breach frequency and scale are highly uncertain, and R&D/cover-up needs could vary widely, so confidence is medium.
