SCP-3571
Expected annual
$5.4M
One-time setup
$9.5M
Annual recurring
$5.1M
Personnel
34
Initial capital and contingency reserves dominate one-time costs (~$9.48M); recurring annual costs are driven by personnel wages, incident demolition/remediation and logistics (~$5.08M/year). Episodic demolition/remediation and large-scale breaches represent the largest additional financial risks.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $9.5M
Contingency Reserve $5.0M
[#25] Recommended containment-breach contingency reserve (small/reserve option chosen: $5,000,000 one-time).
Equipment $2.8M

[#3, #13, #16, #22, #23, #27] Vivaria consumables/filters, PPE replacement and HazMat consumables, per-test AV consumables, countermeasure replenishment, lab sampling kits, and replacement budget for frequently-consumed/destroyed gear.
Medical And Emergency Response $100K/yr
[#14] Baseline medical monitoring, insurance premiums, emergency response readiness and per-incident acute-care budget for exposed staff.
Administrative Overhead $88K/yr
[#26] Administrative overhead, record-keeping, audits, inter-site coordination, procurement management and paperwork.
Training And Exercises $65K/yr
[#19] Regular training, exercises and doctrine development for MTF and site teams (demolition under biohazard, live-specimen handling).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.1M/yr
73.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with moderate operational tempo and the expected number of incidents accounted for in recurring budgets.
routine testing and monitoring occasional single-building infestations handled within budget
🚨 Minor Incident $5.3M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Year with one additional significant demolition/remediation event or an otherwise higher-than-average tempo (extra demolition, disposal, legal costs).
extra demolition event localized remediation and elevated legal/compensation costs
🚨 Major Breach $20.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Multi-structure urban outbreak requiring large-scale demolitions, mass remediation, major legal/PR operations and partial drawdown of contingency reserve.
multi-building spread widespread Stage 4 migration national-level remediation
👥 Personnel 34 total
Role Count Notes
MTF Agent (Psi-7) 12 [#5] Rapid-response MTF specialists for demolition, recovery and containment.
Security Officer 12 [#20] Armed guards and 24/7 containment-area security staff for Site-66 and perimeter control.
Research Scientist 3 [#11] Senior research staff running genomics, proteomics and chemical analyses.
Lab Technician 3 [#11, #23] Bench technicians for sampling, sequencing prep and routine lab operations.
Medical Officer 1 [#14] On-call medical support for acute exposures and long-term monitoring.
Engineer / Maintenance 1 [#2, #6] Facilities engineer for generator/backup systems and maintenance of heavy equipment and cold-storage.
Administrative Staff 2 [#18, #26] Admin and procurement staff for cover-story coordination, record-keeping and inter-site logistics.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have wide ranges and depend heavily on incident frequency and chosen operational model (purchase vs rental, incinerator purchase vs contract disposal). Personnel and recurring line items are reasonably well specified; episodic incident costs and large-scale breach outcomes remain uncertain, hence medium confidence.
