Annual recurring
$2.2M
Personnel

Initial one-time setup (vehicle bay retrofit, software development, amnestic stockpile, contingency reserves) is roughly $765k; steady-state annual operations are dominated by personnel wages and per-detainee housing/processing and are estimated at ~$2.17M/yr. Main drivers are security and medical staffing, per-detainee operational costs, automated data feeds/software maintenance, and cover-up/legal budgets.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.2M/yr
79.0% probability / year
Normal year with low incident rate (assumed ~5 new SCP-1676-2 instances/year); steady-state operations only.
low duplicate frequency no major incidents or public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $3.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$787K vs baseline
Moderate incident year with elevated duplicates (additional ~10 duplicates beyond baseline) requiring extra housing, intake, temporary capacity and PR efforts.
spike in fatal collisions producing duplicates temporary need for extra cells/temporary housing
🚨 Major Breach $4.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment/operational stress (escape, large cluster of duplicates, or prolonged incident) requiring major cover-up, overtime, emergency construction, and legal costs.
escape or widespread duplicate events major legal/cover-up operations
🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $12.2M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Large public exposure or political/legal escalation requiring major settlements, national-level misinformation and extended emergency operations.
public exposure national-level investigation or lawsuits

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#9] 24/7 three-shift guard coverage for vehicle bay and E-wing cells.
Sysadmin / IT Security 1 [#8] Dedicated IT/cybersec staffing (fractional FTE allocated to SCP-1676 systems).
Medical Officer 2 [#15] On-call physician/forensic pathologist/clinical psychologist coverage (combined part-time FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many component costs (equipment, wages, legal) are well-defined, but the dominant uncertainty is the annual rate of SCP-1676-2 appearances (tied to real-world fatal collisions). Probabilities and per-incident counts are therefore estimates, producing medium overall confidence.
