One-time setup
$9.7M
Annual recurring
$7.4M
Personnel
36
One-time capital of approximately $9.7M driven by a dedicated containment wing, neurodiagnostic lab equipment, and secure data/IT/transport assets; recurring annual costs roughly $7.38M driven primarily by MTF and clinical staffing, surveillance operations, legal/cover budgets, and a contingency reserve.

Surveillance Software Development $400K
[#8] One-time development of automated detection software/AI to flag triggering sequences in livestreams and online game streams.
Equipment $300K
[#3, #4] Secure audiovisual monitoring hardware, encrypted NVRs and backup media (#3) and armored transport vehicles / containment stretchers (#4) aggregated under equipment.
Mtf Training And Equipment $200K
[#7] Initial MTF specialized training and equipment setup (weapons, restraints, comms, body armor, initial courses).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $7.4M/yr
Staff Wages $3.7M/yr

Contingency Reserve Contribution $1.0M/yr
[#28] Annual contribution toward a contingency reserve to fund emergency legal settlements, emergency relocations, or larger amnestic campaigns.
Research And Monitoring $950K/yr
[#9, #8, #27] Tournament surveillance operations and human analysts (#9), cloud processing/streaming costs from surveillance (#8), and longitudinal multi-year research programs (#27).
Supplies And Consumables $335K/yr
[#13, #29] Recurring amnestic supply procurement and replenishment (#13) plus clinical/medical consumables, PPE, reagents, disposables (#29).
Facilities Maintenance $300K/yr
[#1, #23] Incremental utilities and operating costs for expanded Site-71 usage (power for MRI, HVAC for secure wards, increased waste disposal) and structural maintenance.
Logistics And Transport $300K/yr
[#5, #25] Vehicle maintenance, fuel, insurance and drivers (#5) plus travel & lodging for global tournament coverage (#25).
Digital Takedown And Internet Monitoring $275K/yr
[#10] Recurring digital takedown / rapid-response cyber team operations to suppress leaks and perform counter-leak activity.
Cover Story And Legal $225K/yr
[#11] Legal & PR retainers and cover-story preparedness budgets (media consultants, legal counsel, prewritten narratives).
Ethics And Compliance $125K/yr
[#30] Internal review board costs, compliance officers, staff counseling and oversight to reduce leakage and manage ethics.

Mtf Recurring Training $50K/yr
[#7] Periodic recertification and refresher training for the MTF (weapons, non-lethal restraint, scenario exercises).
Media Buy And Influence $0/yr
[#26] Media-buy & influence costs are treated as per-incident responses; baseline year assumes no major paid suppression campaign and is therefore set to $0 recurring.
Incident Response And Per Instance Costs $0/yr
[#15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #26] Per-instance study costs, identity reconstruction inpatient costs, post-release setup, routine monitoring, emergency incident response, witness amnestic administration and background/legal obfuscation are budgeted on a per-incident basis and set to $0 in an uneventful baseline year (handled in scenarios).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.4M/yr
74.0% probability / year
Uneventful year with routine operations, no SCP-3751 activations or publicized leaks.

🚨 Minor Incident $7.8M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$394K vs baseline
One localized SCP-3751 event requiring MTF deployment, clinical study, reconstruction, witness amnestics, and modest PR/legal response.

🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $57.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Wide dissemination of the triggering sequence leading to multiple activations, mass suppression and large-scale legal/amnestic campaigns.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#6] Mobile Task Force Mu-5 operational staffing (example 12-person team).
Research Scientist / Clinical Staff 6 [#14] Core clinical/research team for 3-month studies (psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, pharmacologists, gaming specialists).
Security Officer (Site Guards) 10 [#24] Additional Site-71 security staffing increases to secure the extra wing and prevent leaks.
Analysts (Tournament Surveillance) 5 [#8, #9] Human analysts monitoring tournaments and livestreams (noted 5 analysts at $60k each).
Digital / Cyber Response Team 3 [#10] Digital takedown and internet monitoring team staff for rapid-response counter-leak operations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs for facility upgrades, neuroimaging equipment, and staffing are reasonably well-bounded by vendor and salary estimates; incident-driven costs (per-instance amnestics, witness counts, and worst-case global suppression) are highly uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
