One-time setup
$4.4M
Annual recurring
$12.0M
Personnel
33
One-time containment/setup costs are approximately $4.43M driven by vault construction, RRT capital and doctrine setup; recurring annual costs are about $12.0M/yr driven primarily by a large containment/breach reserve, ongoing specialized staff wages, legal suppression operations, and contractor standby for heavy assets.

Heavy Ordnance Acquisition $0
[#17] Heavy ordnance acquisition (one-time). Set to $0 in baseline (policy preference is standby contractor rather than purchase).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $12.0M/yr
Containment Breach Reserve $7.5M/yr
[#19] Annual reserve allocation for contingency breach response, emergency lockdowns, site relocations, cover-up operations, large-scale replacement and compensation.
Staff Wages $2.9M/yr
[#6, #7, #16, #23] Ongoing wages for security guards (24/7 rotation), Level-4 authorizers and senior staff on-call, RRT personnel salaries/training costs (recurring portion), and dedicated researchers/archivists/support staff.

Research And Monitoring $225K/yr
[#9, #13, #25] Ongoing acoustic monitoring operations and tuning, continuing containment R&D and tabletop exercises, periodic independent audits and oversight reviews.
Medical Operational $200K/yr
[#18] Ongoing medical/trauma readiness operational costs, insurance, long-term care readiness and casualty support.
Logistics And Transport $60K/yr
[#22] Readiness and occasional secure relocation/armored courier coordination and vehicle maintenance.

[#8] Annual refresher training, background re-vetting, psychological screening and recurrent personnel vetting.
Supplies And Consumables $10K/yr
[#2, #15, #18] Archival consumables (acid-free boxes, replacement tags), baseline expendable supplies (expendable robotics per-test set to $0 baseline), PPE/medical consumables operational baseline.
Expendable Deployment Per Test $0/yr
[#15] Per-test expendable robotics/sensor losses (set to $0 in baseline; cost is per-test and accounted for in test scenarios).
Controlled Test Per Test Cost $0/yr
[#14] One-off/per-test controlled-test costs (orchestra, hall, production, security). Set to $0 in baseline; modeled in test scenarios.
Per Use Multipurpose Deployment Baseline $0/yr
[#20] Costs related to using SCP-333-B as a multipurpose facility (per-use deployment). Set to $0 in baseline; modeled in scenarios if used.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $12.0M/yr
92.5% probability / year
Normal year with archival-only posture, no authorized performances or major incidents; routine operations, staffing, legal suppression, and reserve funding continue.
no performance of SCP-333-A no containment breach routine monitoring and suppression activity
🚨 Minor Incident $13.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Localized unauthorized handling, small leak of copies, or limited breach requiring local response, forensic recovery and limited public cover-up.
unauthorized copy surfaces publicly limited breach requiring site lockdown and cleanup
🚨 Controlled Test $13.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
An authorized controlled performance/test of SCP-333-A with full containment and sacrificial equipment deployed; expensive but planned.
authorized experiment/performance deployment of orchestra, hall rental, expendables and elevated security
🚨 Major Breach $32.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
SCP-333-C escapes or large-scale unintended integration/manifestation requiring full-scale emergency response, activation of reserve funds and possibly heavy ordnance/contractor assets.
SCP-333-C escapes SCP-333-B full-site emergency and large-scale public exposure
👥 Personnel 33 total

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints and policy assumptions (contractor vs purchase); frequency of performances, true severity/likelihood of SCP-333-C escapes, and political/legal suppression costs are highly uncertain, producing low confidence.
