Initial capital and reserve allocations are large (≈$25.2M one-time) driven by transport/vehicle procurement, SIGINT/CCTV/archival hardware, and contingency reserves; recurring annual costs are dominated by large surveillance staffing and SIGINT/monitoring operations (~$36.7M/yr).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $25.2M
Large Emergency Reserve $10.0M
[#33] One-time contingency reserve for large-scale emergency response (evacuations, mass amnestic deployment, mobile hospitals).
Equipment $6.4M
[#2, #3, #4, #5, #8, #24] Purchase/installation of high-security morgue freezer (#2), CCTV/LiDAR systems (#3), archival servers and double-blind transcription infrastructure (#4), SIGINT interception hardware and mobile interception vans (#5), MTF vehicles/helicopter leases and transport kits (#8), and secure relocation crates/equipment (#24).
Insurance Reserve $5.0M
[#28] One-time insurance / liability reserve allocation to cover large claims, settlements, and compensation pools.
Infrastructure Sabotage Reserve $2.0M
[#22] Reserved one-time fund for infrastructure-manipulation/sabotage contingency operations (staged closures, emergency diversions) as described in protocols.
Facilities $1.1M
[#1, #25] Construction/upgrades for three Keter-grade humanoid cells and redundant power/environmental control installation (reinforced cells, faraday shielding, isolation corridors, backup generators/UPS).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $600K
[#14] Capital laboratory buildout and research-grade instrumentation for molecular/biomedical anomaly study.
Forensic Analysis One Time $150K
[#13] One-time secure autopsy / major forensic panel for SCP-2145-4 cadaver (per-major-analysis cost).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $36.7M/yr
Staff Wages $22.5M/yr
[#6, #7, #9, #12] Wages and loaded costs for continuous surveillance teams (primary driver), dedicated on-site security/armed guards, psychiatric clinicians/crisis staff, and medical/OR personnel. Surveillance staffing uses the rotation buffer model (≈252 FTE observers) driving most wages.
Logistics And Transport $3.8M/yr
[#8, #21, #24] MTF rapid-response operations (vehicle/helicopter operations, maintenance, fuel/crew), crowd-control operations for events, and annual secure-transport contingency/convoy costs.
Research And Monitoring $3.3M/yr
[#3, #4, #5, #13, #14, #32] Ongoing monitoring operations (CCTV/LiDAR storage and operations), archival storage and encryption management, SIGINT operational costs (personnel/ops), long-term sample storage, recurring biomedical research program costs, and long-term data retention.
Cover Story And Legal $2.2M/yr
[#18, #19, #23, #29, #30] Legal defense/cover-up budgets, public relations/disinformation baseline, data redaction/legal hold processing, O5-level oversight/ethical review meeting costs, and misinformation forensic/takedown operations.
Training And Hiring $1.1M/yr
[#16, #31, #34] Ongoing recruitment/training pipeline, rotation pool backfill, and regular simulation/training exercises (memetic/contamination drills) plus turnover/recruitment premiums.
Insurance Replenishment $1.0M/yr
[#28] Annual replenishment for insurance/liability reserve to maintain coverage and compensation pool.
Travel Manipulation $1.0M/yr
[#20] Ongoing costs to maintain influence networks, covert rerouting, travel holds, and paid reroute operations for named actors and other high-risk individuals.
Infrastructure Manipulation Reserve $500K/yr
[#22] Annual allocation for smaller-scale infrastructure-manipulation operations and plausible diversions (legal risk budget for staged closures/etc.).
Amnestic Reserve $400K/yr
[#15] Production, stockpiling, and administration readiness for Class-A amnestics (drug batches, monitoring staff, deployment readiness).
Facilities Maintenance $310K/yr
[#2, #25, #26] Maintenance and operations for morgue/freezer systems, redundant power/HVAC/generator maintenance and fuel, and site environmental control upkeep.
Administrative Overhead $200K/yr
[#35] Miscellaneous administrative overhead: utilities allocation, janitorial, HR/IT support, and site-level overhead attributable to SCP-2145 handling.
Cosmetic Surgery Program $180K/yr
[#11] Recurring procedural costs for permitted cosmetic surgeries (facility/O.R. use, surgeons, anesthesiologists, post-op care) averaged across permitted instances.
Supplies And Consumables $137K/yr
[#10, #27] Psychiatric/pharmaceutical supplies, controlled sedatives, PPE, disposable medical consumables, and sterilization supplies.
Background Checks $95K/yr
[#17] Ongoing background/psych monitoring, counseling programs, and mandatory monitoring for exposed staff.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $36.7M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major public incidents; routine operations, surveillance, and research continue.
steady_operations no_public_breach
🚨 Minor Incident $39.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Limited public exposure or localized breach requiring targeted amnestic deployment, additional legal/PR spending, and short-term surge in surveillance/transport.
limited_public_exposure local_media_story small_breach
🚨 Major Breach $86.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Large-scale exposure or mobility event forcing mass amnestic use, widespread evacuations, and full drawdown of emergency reserves and contingency funds.

Role Count Notes
Surveillance Analyst / Observer 252 [#6] Continuous 24/7 human surveillance with rotation buffer (≈36 FTEs per subject × 7 subjects = 252 FTEs).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 20 [#7] Dedicated armed guard teams assigned to site-level Keter security (three shifts, loaded).
Psychiatric Staff 6 [#9] On-call psychiatrists, psych nurses, and crisis intervention clinicians dedicated to high suicide-risk subjects.
Medical Officer / OR Staff 8 [#12] OR nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgical support staff to support cosmetic surgery program and emergency procedures.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and explicit staffing models (surveillance rotation), so major recurring drivers are well-identified; uncertainty remains in frequency of incidents, contingency reserve sizing, and site-specific capital needs which produce a mid-level confidence.
