Initial capital and containment setup costs are moderate-to-large (~$5.8M one-time) while recurring operations are the main driver (~$7.8M/yr), dominated by continuous security staffing, site operations, and ongoing research/monitoring.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.8M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major containment incidents; regular operations, research, and Site-1625 activities proceed as planned.
routine operations scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $8.0M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment incident: one SCP-1625-1 recovery requiring emergency response, small public exposure or limited infection at Site-1625; deploy emergency fund and extra short-term staffing.
single SCP-1625-1 discovery requiring rapid response limited public leak or minor infection
🚨 Major Breach $10.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or outbreak (e.g., infection at Site-1625, international attention, mass retellings) requiring large-scale quarantine, staff replacement, relocation planning, major PR/legal action and expanded research response.
widespread recounting causing multiple SCP-1625-1 instances public/political exposure requiring relocation or major legal action

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 66 [#3] Continuous 24/7 guard coverage and supervisors (66 total, includes supervisors); cost basis ~3.3M/yr at ~50k fully-burdened each.
Medical Officer / Psychologist 3 [#5] On-site clinicians and memetics-aware psychologist (2–3 FTEs; modeled as 3 FTEs, ~325k/yr total).
Anthropologist / Cultural Liaison 3 [#20] Controlled interviews, documentation and cultural liaison (2–4 specialists; modeled as 3 FTEs, ~210k/yr total).
Administrative Staff / Site Director / HR / Compliance 6 [#29] Site director, HR, logistics and compliance staff (modeled as ~6 FTEs, ~500k/yr total overhead).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many per-event frequencies and long-term behaviors (frequency of SCP-1625-1 occurrences, rate of new detainee recoveries, outbreak likelihood) are poorly constrained; cost ranges in the source are wide and several annualized assumptions were required, so confidence is low.
