Expected annual
$1.4M
One-time setup
$1.4M
Annual recurring
$1.3M
Personnel
13
Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $1.4M driven by facility construction, test/ricochet infrastructure, robotics, sensors, and initial reverse-engineering; ongoing annual costs are roughly $1.34M per year, dominated by security and specialist research/staffing.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.4M

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#4] Multi-shift trained guards to cover 24/7 vehicle bay and perimeter; estimate based on 6–10 guards rotating.
Security Supervisor 1 [#4] Single supervisor to manage guard rotations and rapid-response coordination.
Research Scientist 2 [#5, #13] Anomalous researchers conducting reverse-engineering and testing of SCP-3763 (part of the 2–4 FTE research staff).
Engineer / Maintenance 1 [#5, #11] Mechanical/containment technician for vehicle maintenance, conservator tasks, and equipment upkeep.
Asset Handler / Psychologist 1 [#6] Specialist maintaining MC&D deception, negotiating consent with SCP-3763-1, and providing scripted-interaction training.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and a reasonable midpoint selection; uncertainty remains around the rarity and cost of reverse-engineering the Thalbrum VSS, frequency of incidents, and variability in staffing levels.
