Initial capital costs are dominated by contingency/reserve options (Project Lethe / SCP-2000) and lab/R&D instrumentation, while recurring annual costs are driven by specialized staff wages, large-scale content-forensics operations, MTF deployments, screening programs, and opportunity costs from lost productivity.

Confidence Notes
High uncertainty due to the memetic nature of SCP-2801, wide ranges in analyst estimates, and optionality of extreme contingency measures (Lethe / SCP-2000). Many costs scale nonlinearly with outbreak severity and geographic scope.
