SCP-3762
Expected annual
$2.5M
One-time setup
$6.0M
Annual recurring
$2.4M
Personnel
14
One-time setup and capital expenditure are approximately $6.02M, driven primarily by BSL-3 upgrades, specialized restraint hardware, and vehicles/equipment. Recurring annual costs are approximately $2.405M/yr, driven mainly by staffing (MTF and research), lab operations, monitoring and local liaison/cover operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, staffing, and operations only.
routine monitoring weekly sampling no discovery events
🚨 Minor Incident $2.6M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized discovery or small public encounter requiring surge response, amnestic use, spot repairs and extra MTF presence.
civilian discovery limited structure damage amnestic deployment
🚨 Active Restraint $3.6M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Policy decision to actively restrain or seize SCP‑3762 leading to large infrastructure/installation and sustained higher operating costs.
decision to install full restraint large engineering deployment sustained high power draw
🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Major containment breach or public exposure requiring large‑scale emergency operations, legal/PR costs and infrastructure replacement.
major structural failure public exposure large repairs and litigation

Role Count Notes
On-site Resident Agent 1 [#1] Tau‑24‑01 resident agent; local accommodation, hazard pay and on‑call stipend.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#2] MTF Tau‑24 field team rotational staffing (8 agents) for observation and response.
Research Scientist 2 [#5] Two full‑time researchers for biomarker/sequence analysis and oversight.

Transcription/Archival Staff 2 [#17] Photographic capture, transcription, translation (Welsh), and conservation technician support.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit line‑item estimates for nearly every recurring and capital cost, so numerical coverage is good; uncertainty remains around policy choices (active restraint vs passive monitoring), scale ranges on BSL/engineering work, and site‑specific land costs, so a medium confidence rating is appropriate.
