Estimated one-time startup costs are approximately $2.88M driven by structural containment, robotics/equipment, and laboratory upgrades; steady-state annual operations are approximately $2.92M driven mainly by staff wages, research, and consumable provisioning (UV bulbs and PPE).

| Role | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Security Officer / MTF Agent | 8 | [#11] ERT rapid-response team (8 personnel) budgeted in staff wages; includes operators, med tech, manipulator operator and robotics tech. |
| Research Scientist | 5 | [#12] Scientific staff (chemists, botanist, behaviorist, translator) funded in research salaries. |

Confidence Notes
Significant uncertainties remain: true count of SCP-1619-2-C instances (drives UV bulb/consumable spend), unknown aerosol/toxin hazard from SCP-1619-1-A, and potential for atypical containment incidents. Estimates use mid-range assumptions; actual costs could be materially higher.
