SCP-1711
Expected annual
$3.7M
One-time setup
$892K
Annual recurring
$3.6M
Personnel
20
Initial one-time setup estimated at $892,500 for containment retrofit, lab setup, and legal/investigative actions; recurring annual costs are approximately $3,595,000 driven mainly by staff wages, ongoing monitoring/research, medical readiness, and large contingency/reserve funds for mass-exposure response.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing containment, research, monitoring, medical readiness and routine operations.
routine operations periodic training/refreshers small-scale acquisitions
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized accidental exposures or small covert seizures causing several (1–10) affected individuals requiring clinical treatment, limited PR/legal work, and overtime security.
small cluster exposures limited publicized seizure localized contamination
🚨 Major Breach $5.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment breach or viral spread of SCP-1711-2 in a community/region requiring mass antidote distribution, hospitalization, large-scale legal/PR response and victim support.
region-wide sales/use of LingoBingo products mass exposures (dozens–hundreds) high-profile media attention
🚨 Mass Exposure $13.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Catastrophic widespread distribution of SCP-1711-2 resulting in thousands exposed, requiring multi-million-dollar emergency response, mass antidote manufacture/deployment, extensive medical/housing support and long-term remediation.
large-scale commercial distribution international spread failure to interdict supply chains

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are fairly well-specified with clear one-time vs recurring splits, but large uncertainties remain around probabilities of distribution events, per-incident exposure counts, and required scale for mass antidote production, so estimates use representative midpoints and conservative reserves.
