Up-front capital costs to secure the cemetery, build containment, and establish off-site storage are estimated at roughly $2.35M, driven by land acquisition, construction of Site-876, forensic lab build-out, and vehicle/equipment purchases. Recurring annual costs are estimated at roughly $1.35M/year, driven primarily by 24/7 armed security, surveillance staffing, research/forensic monitoring, and administrative/legal/cover-story expenses.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with nightly manifestations contained, no major incidents or breaches; regular research and maintenance continue.
no breaches routine operations scheduled research/maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency response, limited forensic recoveries, short-term PR/legal work and temporary repairs.
localized breach or unauthorized approach anomalous generation of remains requiring extra processing minor equipment failure
🚨 Major Breach $2.3M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring extensive emergency response, site repairs/reconstruction, large-scale forensic processing, relocation or re-securing of the object, and major legal/PR efforts.
large-scale breach or public exposure SCP-1747-1 becomes accessible to SCP-1747-2 or civilians forced excavations and mass remains generation
👥 Personnel 11 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#4] Six armed guards to provide minimum two-on-site at all times across shifts.
Security Supervisor 1 [#4] One site security supervisor/lead to manage guard rotations, vetting and operations.
Surveillance Operator 3 [#5] Two–three operators to monitor live feeds and log nightly manifestations; budgeted as three positions for shift coverage.
Administrative Staff 1 [#28] One administrative/project manager position for liaison, scheduling and reporting.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges for nearly all line items, permitting mid-range estimates, but uncertainties remain around land costs, choice between response vehicle purchase vs. contract, frequency/severity of anomalous events, and research intensity; this yields a medium confidence in the numeric estimates.
