SCP-3663

Expected annual

$2.4M

One-time setup

$5.8M

Annual recurring

$2.4M

Personnel

First-year capital plus one year of operations estimated at roughly $5.7M one-time and $2.36M recurring annually; main drivers are contingency/insurance reserves and capital purchases (mobile pipe network, countermeasures R&D) and ongoing MTF readiness/security wages.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.4M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents; ongoing containment, monitoring, and research proceed as planned.

no demanifestation incidents routine maintenance and staffing only

🚨 Minor Incident $2.4M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$70K vs baseline

Single demanifestation event requiring an MTF mobilization, limited equipment repairs, and medical/forensic follow-up.

single demanifestation within year localized MTF response and limited equipment repair

🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline

Larger-scale breach or divergent behaviour requiring multiple deployments, significant repairs/replacements, extended medical/legal costs and possible civil work.

widespread demanifestation or destructive divergence multiple MTF deployments and major equipment/civil repairs

👥 Personnel 16 total

Role	Count	Notes

📋 Confidence Notes

Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges; however high variance in incident frequency, chosen research ambition, and whether expensive one-time programs (countermeasures, large civil works, contingency sizing) are pursued creates material uncertainty.
