SCP-2425 Euclid ~ medium confidence
SCP-2425
Expected annual
$5.5M
One-time setup
$7.0M
Annual recurring
$5.4M
Personnel
21
Initial one-time setup and R&D are estimated at roughly $7.0M, driven by containment cell construction, specialized R&D (inoculation and long-term neutralization), and contingency reserve establishment. Baseline annual operations are roughly $5.35M/year driven primarily by staff wages (security, research, medical) and ongoing legal/media suppression and PR contingencies.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.4M/yr
90.9% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled performances, routine monitoring and no major public exposures or large-scale media incidents.
no significant breaches scheduled performances only routine legal/media activity
🚨 Minor Incident $5.6M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized accidental exposure or small film release leads to targeted inoculation rollout, limited legal/PR response, and forensic investigation.
small on-camera exposure (>55s) in independent production local news coverage requiring takedowns limited containment breach
🚨 Major Breach $15.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Wider release or discovery (e.g., moderate film release or viral distribution) requiring large buyouts, mass inoculation campaigns, heavy legal action and significant PR suppression.
regional film release containing M.V. 2425-01 sustained national news coverage large-scale public exposures
🚨 Catastrophic Film Release $55.4M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Blockbuster/global release or widespread viral distribution leading to mass exposures and global-scale suppression/response operations.
wide-release blockbuster with SCP-2425 on-camera global media dissemination mass-exposure requiring global inoculation
👥 Personnel 21 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#5] 24/7 security coverage with 3 shifts and supervisory staff (estimate based on 8–16 guards; midpoint staffing chosen).
Research Scientist 6 [#6, #21, #22] Memetics specialists, roboticists, bioengineers and support researchers responsible for inoculation R&D, specialized audio operations, and long-term neutralization research.
Medical Officer 3 [#7, #9, #26] On-call physicians/psychologists and medics for inoculation, quarantine care, and psychological aftercare.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use mid-range selections from analyst-provided ranges and incorporate reasonable staffing and legal/PR allocations. Confidence is medium because many line items have wide ranges and large tail risks (media suppression and blockbuster scenarios) that materially affect long-run cost.
