Initial Research And Lab Setup $4.8M
[#15, #17, #18] NADAB (Tau-22) hardware & initial development and dataset ingestion, antimeme generation & deployment system R&D and pipeline initial build, and initial coordination/negotiation build-out with broadcasters/ISPs (initial contracts/front-company set-up).
Equipment $1.3M
[#2, #6, #10, #11, #12, #16, #22] Cavern power/telemetry capital hardware, humanoid life-support equipment, CCTV/NVR hardware, site UPS/generator capital, secure transport vehicle (armored van), broadcast/headend capture hardware, and initial cybersecurity hardening.
Containment Insurance Initial $1.1M
[#27] Initial one-time component of containment failure insurance / legal indemnity / political mitigation set-aside (coverage/policy setup).
Facilities $825K
[#1, #5, #21, #29] Electric fencing and perimeter/site structural work for the cavern, construction/modification of a humanoid-rated containment chamber at Site-22, vault outfitting for evidence/artifact storage, and decommissioning/disposal planning set-aside.
Pr Cover Initial $500K
[#23] Initial PR/cover-story campaign and legal expenses for initial obfuscation/retrospective takedowns or licensing to support containment.
Summary Estimates Note $0
[#30] Summary-level illustrative totals are captured elsewhere; this entry is a non-financial anchor referencing note #30.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $10.0M/yr
Staff Wages $3.6M/yr
[#3, #7, #8, #15, #16, #19, #20] All personnel salaries and benefits: cavern guards, humanoid containment guards, medical staff (nurses/physician coverage), NADAB engineering/ops staff, broadcast/monitoring analysts, field agents, and research scientists.
Administrative Overhead $2.3M/yr
[#26] Administrative overhead (site allocation, HR, procurement, clearances, site utilities) assumed at 35% of direct recurring operations.
Contingency Reserve $1.3M/yr
[#25] Emergency/contingency reserve set-aside for rapid response, breaches, large broadcast events, chartering aircraft/forces, litigation; assumed ~20% of direct recurring ops.
Research And Monitoring $990K/yr
[#10, #15, #16, #17, #20, #21] Ongoing NADAB operations/hosting (non-staff ops), CCTV/storage/replication costs, broadcast ingestion bandwidth and storage, antimeme ops budget, laboratory consumables for Level-3 analysis, and evidence/artifact storage recurring costs.
Cover Story And Legal $575K/yr
[#18, #23] Ongoing coordination/negotiation payments with broadcasters/ISPs/platforms and PR/legal retainers for coverups and takedowns.
Containment Insurance Ongoing $500K/yr
[#27] Ongoing insurance/legal indemnity/political mitigation set-aside depending on policy structure and jurisdictional exposure.
Supplies And Consumables $280K/yr

[#12, #19] Vehicle maintenance/insurance for secure transport and field agent travel/operational expenses.
Cybersecurity And Opsec $125K/yr
[#22] Recurring cybersecurity monitoring, IDS/patching, penetration testing cadence, and OPSEC for monitoring systems and NADAB.
Psychiatric Aftercare $125K/yr
[#24] Outpatient therapy, follow-up monitoring, and potential hospitalization costs for amnestic side-effects.
Training Drills $85K/yr

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.0M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady monitoring, routine operations, and no major exposure events.
normal_operations routine_detections_and_admin
🚨 Minor Incident $11.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized or limited broadcast exposure requiring field deployments, increased amnestic use, targeted legal/PR response and short-term surge in ops.

🚨 Major Breach $22.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$12.0M vs baseline
Widespread or sustained hijacked broadcasts / mass exposure leading to large-scale emergency procurement, mass amnestic administration, large legal/political mitigation and possible international implications.

👥 Personnel 35 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Cavern Guard 4 [#3] Minimal 24/7 cavern coverage incl. spares; used 4 FTEs in salary totals.
Security Officer / Humanoid Containment Guard 8 [#7] Two-person staffing for humanoid chamber 24/7 implies ~8 guards total to allow leave/overtime.
Medical Officer (Nurse / Physician) 3 [#8] Two full-time nurses plus on-call physician coverage for IV feeding and monitoring.
Field Agent Team (Mobile Response) 10 [#19] Dedicated mobile response team for locating exposures, apprehension, amnestic deployment and interviewing (midpoint used).
Analysts / Monitoring Operators 4 [#16] Broadcast/interception triage analysts/operators (3–6 range; midpoint used).
NADAB / ML Engineers & Ops 3 [#15] ML engineers and ops staff to run and maintain Tau-22 (NADAB) cluster and models.
Research Scientist / Level-3 Personnel 3 [#20] Scientists performing Level-3 analysis and assays on SCP-3135-2 and associated equipment (2–4 range; midpoint used).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude with many analyst assumptions (staff counts, covert insertion approach, insurance levels, and event frequencies). The SCP's anomalous and event-driven nature produces wide uncertainty ranges.
