One-time setup
$1.9M
Annual recurring
$3.0M
Personnel
21
One-time setup costs are roughly $1.9M driven by land, perimeter/infrastructure, equipment, and decommissioning contingency; recurring annual costs are about $3.05M/year driven primarily by MTF and research staff salaries, food provisioning, cover/obfuscation, and contingency reserves.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine containment, monitoring, and resupply.
no breaches regular resupply and staffing routine research activity
🚨 Minor Incident $3.3M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized breach or escalatory event requiring overtime, temporary MTF surge, perimeter repairs, and limited legal/settlement costs.
small perimeter breach limited instance egress/search minor property damage and legal payments
🚨 Major Breach $5.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Large-scale containment failure requiring heavy ordinance response, multi-MTF mobilization, reconstruction, mass medical/research triage, and significant legal/cover costs.
mass breach or coordinated SCP-2423-3 attack significant infrastructure destruction loss of multiple instances or public exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many line-item estimates and ranges, enabling midpoint aggregation; however major uncertainties remain (number of instances, land costs, site density, and escalation likelihood), so figures are best-estimate midpoints rather than high-confidence budgets.
