SCP-3613

Expected annual

$2.8M

One-time setup

$4.0M

Annual recurring

$2.7M

Personnel

Initial hardening and contingency reserves drive one-time costs (~$4.02M), while ongoing staffing (security, engineers, cyber), legal/cover and research drive recurring costs (~$2.72M/yr). Major GOI recovery attempts could add multi-million episodic expenses.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr

88.0% probability / year

Normal year with routine operations: staffing, maintenance, research, routine transport and small cover allocations.

no major incidents routine research and maintenance

🚨 Minor Incident $2.9M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline

Localized incident (cosmetic damage, small public leak, single detainee processing) requiring repairs, PR, limited legal actions and per-incident replacement/repair costs.

cosmetic damage in public small-scale MC&D recovery attempt minor leak requiring PA/legal action

🚨 Major Breach $5.2M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline

Large-scale recovery attempt or major legal/settlement event requiring site reinforcement, large-scale defensive operations, replacements and heavy legal costs.

organized MC&D assault large settlement or buyback demand catastrophic operational exposure

👥 Personnel 15 total

Role	Count	Notes
Robotics Engineer / Maintenance	3	[#6] 1 senior engineer + 2 technicians for routine maintenance, software audits and emergency repairs.
Cybersecurity and Forensic Analyst	2	[#7] 1–2 analysts monitoring IDS, air-gap verification and firmware forensics (budgeted as 2).
Security Officer / MTF Agent	10	[#8] 4 floor guards plus a 6-person armed rapid response team dedicated to the containment floor and site-level response.

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for nearly every cost but many items are contingency-driven (GOI actions, settlements, buybacks) with wide ranges; staffing and baseline operational costs are better-defined than episodic exposures.
