One-time containment and preparedness capital costs are dominated by specialized containment construction, redundant power/IT/surveillance hardware, and a situational covert-influence contingency; total one-time capital is estimated at approximately $12.48M. Annual recurring operating costs are driven by staff wages, counter-intelligence/political monitoring, and site overhead — roughly $1.82M/year under a passive posture.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.8M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal passive year with no major incidents; containment remains stable and monitoring is passive.
no Shah emergence no major ORIA action
🚨 Minor Incident $2.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small security or technical incident requiring overtime, repairs, legal response and short-term countermeasures.
local breach attempt equipment failure
🚨 Oria Recovery Attempt $2.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Active recovery attempt by a rival group (ORIA) requiring elevated counter-intel, force posture, and possible rapid relocation.
detected ORIA operation targeted reconnaissance or assault
🚨 Political Intervention $11.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Re-emergence of a Shah or credible political threat requiring high-level covert/diplomatic intervention and/or long-term influence operations.
Shah returns to power credible risk of SCP activation

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 7 [#7] 2 guards per shift × 3 shifts plus 1 supervisor (7 total on-site security complement).
Research Scientist / Containment Specialist 2 [#8] Designated Level-3+ custodians / containment specialists (FTE equivalents for inspections, conservator visits and oversight).
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment hardware and staffing needs are well-specified by the notes (medium confidence), but political/intelligence and covert-intervention cost estimates are highly uncertain and scenario-dependent, which lowers overall confidence.
