Estimated first-year capital + operations are approximately $13.6M one-time and $5.415M recurring annually; largest drivers are custom drone/distant-exploration hardware, BSL-4 lab buildout and imaging, and ongoing personnel (security, medical/hazmat, drone ops) plus contingency reserves.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$5.4M/yr
Normal year with steady operations, no major incidents; routine maintenance, personnel salaries, and scheduled research continue.
no breaches
routine drone missions only
normal staff rotations
🚨
Minor Incident
$6.2M/yr
Small-scale incident such as lost/damaged drone(s), localized contamination event, or short-term temporary breach requiring targeted response.
drone loss/failure
localized contamination requiring extra disposal
short emergency-deployment
🚨
Major Breach
$8.9M/yr
Significant containment breach or wider contamination requiring large-scale quarantine, emergency incineration, replacement of contaminated infrastructure, and temporary site shutdown/relocation.
uncontrolled spread
multi-cage fatalities reducing aperture stability
regional quarantine and large-scale incineration

Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium-confidence: analyst notes provide clear line items and ranges, but SCP anomalous behavior (infection dynamics, aperture interactions) and remote-environment engineering introduce substantial uncertainty in frequency and scale of incidents.
