First-year setup costs are dominated by site excavation/conversion and extensive research/lab buildout, with significant one-time amnestic storage and security hardware; ongoing annual costs are personnel-heavy (security, clinicians, researchers) plus amnestic procurement and monitoring. Estimated first-year one-time expenses total about $4.47M, with recurring operations around $4.71M/yr.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided ranges for most items allowing mid‑range estimates, but SCP anomalous behavior and contingencies (amnestic usage, breach frequency, expanded long‑term research) remain uncertain; therefore medium confidence in magnitude but significant tail risk.
