[#1, #2, #4, #5, #10, #14] Structural and built-in systems: containment chamber reinforcement, museum-grade HVAC install, refrigerated walk-in cold-storage install, inert-gas fire suppression install, acoustic room treatment, and emergency generator installation.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $168K
[#9, #12, #15, #19, #20] Research buildout and instrument purchases: audio/phenomena instrumentation, multispectral non-contact digitization, initial conservator supplies kit, initial SOP/training program development, and database/software customization.
Contingency Reserve $150K
[#24] Contingency reserve for unexpected anomalous behavior or additional capital changes (10–20% of upfront capital; midpoint budgeted).
Equipment $80K
[#3, #7] Purchases of museum-grade archival safe/environmental enclosure (SCP-2732-1) and electronic access-control / cameras & alarm integration hardware.
Faraday Shielding $50K
[#11] Conditional small Faraday-cage/shielding budget (midpoint of $30k–$70k estimate) reserved to be deployed if EM coupling is detected.
Transport And Rigging $25K

Pest Treatment Initial $10K
[#17] Initial termite/fungal/pest preventative treatments and baseline wood-preservation measures.
Cover Story Development $10K
[#22] Initial legal/cover-up and interagency liaison budget for creating plausible provenance/cover story.
Hazmat Protocol And Setup $5K
[#21] Initial hazardous-materials protocol setup and supplies (PPE, waste contract setup).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents or anomalous scale-ups; routine containment and research operations only.
routine_operations scheduled_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Small containment incident or anomalous uptick (e.g., additional SCP-2732-2 manifests requiring temporary cold-storage rental, short-term overtime, minor repairs and additional conservation work).
small_breach unexpected_manifests short_term_overtime
🚨 Major Breach $2.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Significant anomalous escalation (persistent multiple SCP-2732-2-D or large number of mannequins, contaminated costumes, or serious public exposure) requiring rapid scale-up: expanded cold-storage, emergency decontamination, contingency engineering, legal response and temporary increased staffing.
