SCP-2911

Expected annual

$9.6M

One-time setup

$62.8M

Annual recurring

$9.3M

Personnel

One-time capital and contingency costs are large (~$62.8M) driven by a dedicated amnestic lab, safehouse retrofits and a contingency reclassification build; baseline recurring costs are ~ $9.24M/yr driven primarily by staff wages, legal/PR and ongoing monitoring/suppression operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.3M/yr

79.5% probability / year

Uneventful year with normal operations, readiness and no major incidents beyond routine case handling.

no major breaches routine incidents only

🚨 Minor Incident $9.3M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$80K vs baseline

Single localized incident requiring standard continuity response (amnestic administration, embedded staffing, limited legal/PR work).

single victim event social media post requiring takedown

🚨 Major Incident $10.2M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$980K vs baseline

Larger publicity event or multi-case situation requiring extensive legal action, PR expenditures and emergency logistics.

multi-victim exposure high-profile leak / coordinated social campaign

🚨 Reclassification To Keter $59.2M/yr

0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline

SCP-2911 changes behavior requiring physical high-security containment and large-scale capital works.

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed ranges for many items, allowing a reasoned mid-range estimate, but incident frequency, per-incident durations and potential for reclassification are highly uncertain—hence medium confidence.
