First-year buildout and one-time setup are approximately $2.75M driven by containment construction, precision lab equipment and disposal/incineration hardware; ongoing annual operations are about $2.66M/yr driven primarily by monthly element procurement, amnestics/medical administration, and staff wages.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, procurement and maintenance but no major incidents.
routine element procurement daily inspections standard maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $2.7M/yr
6.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Localized radiation spike or small containment anomaly requiring extra evacuations, disposals and short‑term contractor support.
single air evacuation >2000 CPM extra medical treatments contract hazmat mobilization
🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Significant radiation/transmutation event requiring large‑scale decontamination, multiple disposals, offsite contractor burns and extended medical treatment.
sustained radiation above thresholds multiple SCP‑2046‑1 instances requiring mass disposal extended emergency containment replacement
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $3.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Research decision to synthesize proxies or scale experiments (O5 approval) requiring expanded lab space, staff and procurement of large volumes of materials.
approved scale‑up experiments synthesis of rare element proxies expanded containment/test facilities

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have wide real‑world variance (element procurement, amnestics, disposal fees). Containment procedures are well‑specified but cost ranges are broad; estimates use conservative mid/high choices for safety, so confidence is medium.
