One-time setup
$7.2M
Annual recurring
$2.5M
Personnel

Up-front one-time capital, containment retrofits and contingency reserves total approximately $7.18M, driven largely by multiple contingency/reserve funds and structural/equipment retrofits; annual operating costs are roughly $2.53M/yr driven by security, sample-care staff wages, cleaning, and legal/cover-story retainers.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
48.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, weekly cleaning, scheduled collections, and no major public exposures.
routine gestation/expulsion events at expected frequency no public exposure or major containment breach
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
50.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized increase in expulsions or moderate containment events requiring heavier-than-normal emergency response and additional field operations.
multiple expulsions above average increased sewage recoveries and decontamination operations
🚨 Major Breach $8.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$6.2M vs baseline
Significant public exposure or contamination wave requiring mass medical interventions, large settlements, and extensive emergency operations.
widespread public exposure epidemiological wave or discovery by media/public
👥 Personnel 18 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#2] 12 guards (4 per shift × 3 shifts) per note; included in staff wages.
Research Scientist 2 [#9] Two on-site researchers assigned to SCP-1904 sample care; salaries included in staff wages.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs derive from analyst line-item estimates and canonical containment procedures, but are sensitive to policy choices (incinerator vs contract disposal, reserve sizing) and uncertain incident frequencies; contingency funds dominate uncertainty.
