One-time costs are dominated by property acquisition, renovation, and initial investigation (~$1.14M total). Recurring annual costs are moderate (~$256k/yr) driven mainly by humanoid containment staffing, periodic facilities costs, and cover/front-company maintenance.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.1M
Facilities $659K
[#1, #2, #12] Purchase of property (~$500,000 mid), initial securing/board-up/fencing/locksmiths (~$9,000 mid), and renovation/transaction costs for resale (~$150,000 mid).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $200K
[#8] Initial specialized temporal/containment research, consultant fees, equipment rental and initial investigative experiments (~$200,000 mid).
Legal And Redaction $75K

[#23] Memetic/temporal safety briefings, SOP updates and drills (~$11,000 mid).
Incident Response Logistics $8K
[#18] Initial agent deployment, travel, lodging, evidence collection the night of manifestation (~$8,500 mid).
Cover Story Initial $6K

Secure Archival Setup $6K
[#22] Secure archival/digital file setup, redacted public file production (~$6,000 mid one-time).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $256K/yr
Staff Wages $160K/yr
[#4, #14] Ongoing staffing costs: periodic on-site security (~$30,000/yr equivalent) plus low-security humanoid containment staffing for SCP-2265-A/B (combined, ~$130,000/yr in this baseline).
Research And Monitoring $20K/yr
[#8, #6] Ongoing follow-up research and periodic experiments (~$20,000/yr). Continuous 24/7 monitoring staffing (#6) is not budgeted in baseline (see notes) because SCP-2265 is neutralized; if containment posture changes monitoring staffing would be re-instated at higher cost.
Front Company Operations $20K/yr
[#11] Simon & Chesterson Properties front operating costs while property is held (~$20,000/yr mid for small front).
Mental Health And Liaison $20K/yr
[#16] Therapy, translators, cultural liaison services and facilitated interviews for the two subjects (~$20,000/yr mid).
Facilities Maintenance $12K/yr
[#19] Property taxes and minimal utilities/site maintenance while property held (~$11,500/yr mid: taxes + limited utilities/maintenance).
Cover Story And Legal $10K/yr

[#7] Secure encrypted video retention and cloud/maintenance costs (~$5,000/yr).
Emergency Recontainment Fund $2K/yr
[#17] Annual allocation toward a reserved rapid-response/recontainment fund (small replenishment allocation; full contingency reserved fund is larger but not spent each year).

[#22] Archival maintenance / small recurring consumables for case file upkeep (~$1,000/yr).
Logistics And Transport $0/yr
[]
Conditional Long Term Monitoring $0/yr
[#24] Long-term periodic monitoring budget only applies if residual anomalous risk remains; SCP-2265 is currently neutralized so baseline set to $0/yr.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $256K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year post-neutralization with property held/sold and two subjects maintained in low-security containment; minimal follow-up research and routine front-company maintenance.

🚨 Minor Incident $306K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized temporary re-activation or discovery requiring emergency agent deployment, short-term recontainment measures, additional legal/PR work, and temporary monitoring re-initiation.

🚨 Major Recontainment $456K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Significant containment failure or larger-than-expected re-manifestation requiring full recontainment, extended research mobilization, temporary housing, and large legal/PR operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and midpoints; many line items are one-off and locality-dependent (property purchase, renovation). Neutralized status reduces uncertainty but contingency/reserve items and conditional monitoring introduce moderate uncertainty.
