Initial capital requirements are approximately $10.53M driven by construction (dome, HVAC, transport, site works) and a large contingency reserve; ongoing annual operations are roughly $5.62M driven primarily by security and specialist staff wages, transport, and lab/monitoring operations.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $10.5M
Facilities $5.1M
[#1, #2, #3, #7, #27, #30, #23] Structural construction and site works: observation dome and airlock, catwalks and guard platforms, perimeter works and fencing, HVAC installation as part of the structural build, initial heavy mobilization/transport for construction, initial land/lease/remediation reserve, and medical clinic build & basic fitout.
Contingency Reserve $3.0M
[#31] One-time contingency / incident reserve recommended to cover large, fast-response budgets for reanimation outbreaks, extraction, or relocation.
Equipment $1.6M
[#4, #5, #9, #11, #13, #14, #16, #22, #33] Hardware and installed systems: redundant sensors and detectors, secure servers/racks/UPS, backup generators, ruggedized drone fleet, GPS tracker hardware/install, robotic manipulators and inspection arm, biohazard incinerator installation, initial PPE kit (one-time purchase), and secure communications installation.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $675K

Contingency Replenishment $200K/yr
[#31] Annual replenishment target for the contingency reserve after incident drawdowns.
Remediation Contingency $50K/yr
[#30] Annual budget for environmental remediation contingencies and small compensation/mitigation events.
Secure Comms Maintenance $35K/yr
[#33] Recurring maintenance and airtime for satcom terminals, secure radios and classified network upkeep.
Training And Sop Refreshers $32K/yr
[#26] Ongoing training refreshers, drills and psychological screening updates.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.6M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine operations, monitoring, and a modest testing cadence or suspended testing as required.
no breaches routine monitoring standard sample throughput
🚨 Minor Incident $6.0M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Localized reanimation or small containment incident requiring on-site emergency response, additional incinerations, short-term contractor mobilization, and repairs.
small reanimation event limited breach within perimeter equipment damage requiring repair
🚨 Major Breach $8.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or coordinated multiple-instance reanimation escape requiring large-scale mobilization, replacement equipment, long-duration contractor support, site repairs and possible temporary relocation.
multi-instance reanimation outbreak cryostorage compromise large-scale structural damage
👥 Personnel 23 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 14 [#24] Continuous security guard force (12–16 guards per analyst notes) to maintain 24/7 presence and testing augmentation.
Research Scientist 6 [#25] Level-4 researchers and specialist scientific staff including site research lead; staff pool estimated from recurring researcher staffing budget.
Medical Officer 2 [#23] On-site medic/nurse and access to remote physicians for immediate care and quarantine management.
Site Director / Executive Staff 1 [#25] Site director / senior management included in researcher/specialist staffing budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use median values from analyst ranges and conservative assumptions about transfer frequency and staffing; SCP behavior (reanimation, wandering) introduces operational uncertainty and incident cost volatility, so confidence is moderate rather than high.
