SCP-3886
Expected annual
$1.2M
One-time setup
$962K
Annual recurring
$1.2M
Personnel
9
Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $962,500, driven by construction of a reinforced test chamber, biohazard equipment, and a seeded emergency fund. Ongoing annual costs are roughly $1,164,250/yr, driven mainly by continuous staffing (guards, researcher, vet, program manager), medical care, and facility overhead for testing and carcass procurement.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal year with minimal testing and no major incidents; routine containment and periodic tests as budgeted.
no major incidents scheduled testing only routine staffing and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Small containment or testing incident requiring overtime, limited repairs, forensic work, and emergency fund usage.
localized breach or testing accident overtime and limited repairs extra forensic/disposal costs
🚨 Major Breach $1.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or large-scale testing accident requiring full rapid-response deployment, repairs, legal action and major replenishment of contingency funds.
major breach of test chamber or humanoid cell large forensic/cleanup operation facility repairs and major legal/PA response
🚨 Political Exposure $1.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Public leak or legal exposure requiring intensive legal defense, cover-story operations, compensation, and potential temporary relocation of subjects.
media/legal exposure third-party claims or local authority involvement large-scale cover-story and compensation

📋 Confidence Notes
Core recurring costs (staff wages, facility overhead, routine testing) are well-specified from analyst notes; uncertainty remains around testing cadence, optional horse-exclusion policies, and frequency/magnitude of incidents, so medium confidence is appropriate.
