⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.2M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Uneventful year with standard monitoring, maintenance, and routine operations; no major 3637-Ramah escalation or breaches.
no_major_storms_over_site standard_operations_only
🚨 Minor Incident $10.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized 3637-Ramah event produces a single wandering SCP-3637-1 instance that requires on-site response, short repairs, and per-event cleanup.

🚨 Major Breach $12.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Escalated event like Incident 3637-A where an instance scales, breaches the barrier, requires large-scale response, repairs, potential litigation and accelerated excavation/transfer.

👥 Personnel 130 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 96 [#3] Guards posted every 200 m around the 1 km radius (32 posts × 3 shifts = 96 positions).
Operations / Monitoring Operator 11 [#6] Central monitoring/ops center 24/7 staffing: 9operators + 2 supervisors (~11 total).
Rapid Response Team / MTF Agent 16 [#10] Two rapid-response teams of 8 personnel each (16 total) to operate hoses, vehicles, and manage incidents.
Research Scientist 3 [#16] Core research staff (geochemistry, behavior, memory studies) funded within research program recurring budget.
Museum Staff (curator/docent/security) 4 [#15] Museum front staffing included in recurring operations and cover story, conservative estimate of curator/docents/security on the payroll.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates and reasonable midpoints, but site-specific variables (land costs, local labor rates), event frequency uncertainty for anomalous behavior, and assumptions about staff/operation splits reduce confidence from high to medium.
