One-time capital and R&D buildout (~$62.5M) dominates costs (cleanroom/nanofab and multi-year containment R&D); recurring annual operating costs are substantial (~$19.06M/yr) driven by specialized staff wages, security, medical care, covert/legal budgets, and intelligence.

Baseline
(baseline)
$19.1M/yr
Normal year with ongoing operations, routine maintenance, and no major incidents.
no implant failure beyond routine maintenance
no containment breach
no public exposure
🚨
Minor Incident
$20.1M/yr
Localized implant failure or medical crisis requiring emergency surgeries, replacement implants, and temporary contractor surge.
SCP-2085-1 activity causing implant degradation
unscheduled surgery and implant replacement
short-term contractor nanofab surge
🚨
Major Breach
$24.1M/yr
Containment implants fail leading to attempted escape or violent outbreak requiring emergency ISD operations and potential termination/disposal actions.
simultaneous implant network failure
coordinated escape attempt
use of lethal-force/termination and site remediation
🚨
Political Exposure
$27.1M/yr
Public leak or international incident requiring broad covert operations, heavy legal/diplomatic spending, and large-scale media suppression/liaison.
public disclosure/leak
cross-border diplomatic involvement
high-profile legal challenges

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges but many figures are ranges and scenario probabilities are inferred. Major drivers (cleanroom, R&D, covert/legal) have wide uncertainty; estimates use midpoints and program assumptions.
