One-time capital costs are dominated by specialized containment, R&D, and a contingency reserve; recurring costs are dominated by personnel (security, medical, research) and a standing emergency retainer. Total one-time capital is large due to a contingency allocation for Protocol Eta-2, while steady-state operations run multiple millions per year.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$2.6M/yr
Routine year with no major containment incidents; steady-state operations and scheduled maintenance/training only.
no incidents
scheduled testing only
normal staff turnover
🚨
Minor Incident
$2.7M/yr
Localized inadvertent infection event requiring targeted amnestic administrations, overtime, additional incineration/cleanup, and extra psych follow-up for a small number of people.
small-scale exposure
additional amnestic administrations
localized incineration/cleanup
🚨
Major Breach
$7.6M/yr
Significant breach with multiple SCP-2330-1 instances requiring large-scale response, extended MTF operations, widespread amnestic application, and infrastructure remediation.
security failure
widespread internal transmission
major site response
🚨
Catastrophic Breach
$27.6M/yr
Full site-wide infection triggering Protocol Eta-2 or equivalent catastrophic response (mass amnestic deployment/incineration, site purge and long-term remediation).
uncontained site-wide infection
activation of Protocol Eta-2
multi-site emergency response

Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing medium confidence in routine and capital cost estimates; high uncertainty remains for contingency (Protocol Eta-2) magnitude and scenario probabilities associated with memetic spread, so catastrophic-event costs and probabilities are low-confidence estimates.
