Initial startup costs are approximately $6.04M driven by containment suite and reserve setup, lab/research buildout, and covert/infiltration buys. Recurring annual operations are about $6.30M, driven primarily by MTF staffing, legal/PR, research/monitoring, and personnel contingencies.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$6.3M/yr
Normal year with steady monitoring, containment, and routine incidents handled within planned recurring budget.
no major breaches
regular discovery and suppression work
routine MTF and research activity
🚨
Minor Incident
$7.5M/yr
Localized containment incident requiring emergency deployment, increased buyback/takedown, additional amnestic administrations and PR/legal response.
localized distribution spike
single-site containment breach
small public exposure
🚨
Major Proliferation
$21.3M/yr
Wide, sustained international or online proliferation of SCP-2266-1 requiring large-scale buybacks/suppression, expanded MTF/cyber operations, mass amnestics and major legal/PR campaigns.
mass production discovered
viral online spread
international supply-chain compromise

Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and reasonable mid-point assumptions. Significant uncertainty remains due to wide ranges in per-item costs, unknown production/distribution scale, and the anomalous behavior of SCP-2266 which could change requirements rapidly.
