One-time containment/setup costs are approximately $2,650,000, primarily for Site-77 temporal-subdivision retrofit, initial MTF equipment and AI/tooling development. Annual recurring operations are approximately $13,694,850/yr, driven by MTF payroll and high per-incident response costs (amnestic programs, legal/media suppression, witness management, and mobilization).

Role Count Notes
MTF Operator / Specialist (Gamma-5) 18 [@#3] Standing force size (midpoint of 12–24) with fully loaded compensation included in staff_wages.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges and an assumed baseline incident rate (10/yr); SCP-2549's unpredictable targeting and rare high-impact exposures introduce substantial uncertainty in incident frequency, witness counts, and political/legal outcomes.
