SCP-1630
Expected annual
$4.2M
One-time setup
$5.7M
Annual recurring
$4.1M
Personnel
25
Estimated one-time capital of approximately $5.70M driven by containment chamber construction, HVAC upgrades, on-site incinerator and contingency reserve; steady-state recurring costs about $4.12M/year driven by security and research staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, and administrative overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
81.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with steady-state operations and no major Delta Events beyond routine minor work.
no_breach routine_operations scheduled_drills_and_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized containment breach or small Delta Event requiring termination of one or a few instances, forensic processing, targeted amnestic use and limited public remediation.

🚨 Major Incident $4.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Multi-instance Delta Event or failure of initial containment leading to significant cleanup, large amnestic/PR operation and infrastructure remediation.

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $7.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Large-scale uncontrolled Delta Event with urban impact requiring major environmental remediation, mass amnestic deployment, legal settlements and rebuilds.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 15 [#4] 12–18 dedicated guards (4–6 per shift) estimated at 15 total to match loaded security wage estimate; MTF/rapid-response retainer accounted in staff wages.
Research Scientist 4 [#5] 3–5 scientists; 4 assumed for staffing and research program execution.
Technician / Lab Technician 3 [#5] 2–3 technicians; 3 assumed to support lab work and monitoring.
Medical Officer / Nurse 1 [#6] Medic/medical coverage included in recurring medical staffing budget.
Psychologist 1 [#6] Psychologist coverage for human-interaction effects.
ASL Interpreter 1 [#6] ASL-literate staff assigned/available to support SCP-1630-11 communications (part-time coverage counted as one full headcount-equivalent).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided detailed line-item ranges enabling mid-range estimates; uncertainty remains in incident frequencies, exact staffing mixes, and per-incident remediation scale, so confidence is moderate.
