Initial one-time capital and program development costs are dominated by advanced contingency R&D and extreme-disposal planning (hundreds of millions); steady-state annual operations are driven by medical/security staffing, facility overhead, and long-term research/monitoring (~$3.9M/yr).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $304.8M
Extreme Containment And Disposal $300.0M
[#22] Low-probability, high-cost contingency (specialized containment R&D, heavy-lift launch contracts, full engineering programs); representative single-event/order-of-magnitude reserve (subject to high uncertainty).
Contingency Program Development $3.0M
[#13] Dedicated multidisciplinary program to design miscarriage/labor contingency (obstetrics, physics, engineering, risk analysis); midpoint of $1M–$5M.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $1.2M
[#7] Research-grade imaging/instrumentation and upgrades to site imaging suites for advanced EM/gravitational measurements; midpoint of $500k–$2,000k.
Facilities $275K
[#1] Reinforced humanoid containment cell modifications, reinforced HVAC, redundant life-support and fail-safe locks; midpoint of $150k–$400k.
Equipment $165K
[#2, #8] Redundant biometric monitoring hardware/telemetry installation and initial encrypted servers/offline backups/UPSs; includes installation and 3-year warranty and initial secure storage hardware.
Initial Amnestics And Coverup $100K
[#9] Initial amnestic administrations, emergency payments, fabricated records and relocation costs for immediate witnesses; midpoint of $50k–$150k.
Staff Training Initial Program $50K
[#12] Initial CBRN/biocontainment and obstetric emergency program development; midpoint of $25k–$75k.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $3.9M/yr
Research And Monitoring $960K/yr
[#6, #2, #8, #24] Routine clinical testing/imaging costs, monitoring hardware maintenance and calibration (~$5k–$15k/yr), secure data maintenance, and long-term research program funding; aggregated midpoints including $875k/yr research program midpoint.
Staff Wages $830K/yr
[#3, #4] 24/7 medical staffing (3 RNs, on-call MD, OB/GYN and anesthesiology retainers) and 24/7 cleared security guards (6 guards + OT/hazard pay captured separately); aggregated midpoint of provided ranges.
Logistics And Transport $588K/yr
[#14, #15] MTF readiness/readiness budgets for transport and airlift availability (midpoint $300k–$800k/yr) plus evacuation planning costs (~$25k–$50k/yr). Per-deployment activation/evacuation costs are treated as scenario-specific per-event expenditures.
Facilities Maintenance $500K/yr
[#18] Site overhead, utilities, apportioned site maintenance and security systems for dedicating a cell; midpoint of $200k–$800k/yr.
Incident Liability Reserve $300K/yr
[#23] Funds reserved for external investigations, diplomatic issues, payouts and clandestine legal actions (midpoint of $100k–$500k reserved annually).
Replacement Depreciation Reserve $212K/yr
[#19] Annual reserve for replacement/depreciation of imagers, servers, and monitoring gear (~10–20%/yr of capital equipment); estimated as ~15% of capital equipment value.
Hazard Pay Premiums $200K/yr
[#20] Recruitment/retention premiums for OB/GYNs, anesthesiologists and specialists (15–30% premiums); midpoint applied to small retained team.
Cover Story And Legal $188K/yr
[#10, #21] Ongoing cover-up/PR/legal retainer and monitoring of external information channels for leaks; combined midpoint of provided ranges.
Miscellaneous Contingency $62K/yr
[#25] Petty operating expenses, travel, emergency procurements and unforeseen needs (midpoint of $25k–$100k/yr).
Supplies And Consumables $46K/yr
[#5, #17] High-calorie specialized medical diet, dietician oversight, consumables, PPE and replacement sensors; combined midpoint of ranges.
Staff Training Refresher $30K/yr
[#12] Recurring refresher training, drills and certifications (midpoint of $20k–$40k/yr).
Psychological Care And Social Services $20K/yr
[#11] Counseling, trauma therapy and social worker time for SCP-1586-1 and family (midpoint of $10k–$30k/yr).
Biohazard Disposal And Decon $12K/yr
[#16] Routine biohazard disposal and decontamination budget (midpoint of $5k–$20k/yr); per-incident cleanup costs handled in scenarios.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items use broad ranges and speculative contingency options (especially extreme-disposal scenarios). Midpoint estimates were used where ranges were given; catastrophic outcomes are highly uncertain and could change expected costs substantially.
