Estimated one-time setup and reserve costs are approximately $228.05M, with annual recurring operations of roughly $126.65M driven primarily by staff wages, mobile outpost operations, logistics/surveillance, and an annual scaling buffer; diplomatic/compensation and contingency reserves are the largest uncertain one-time drivers.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst notes but include significant uncertainty around diplomatic/compensation obligations, contingency reserve sizing, and future expansion rate of SCP-4024; equipment and staffing figures are better constrained than geopolitical and reserve choices.
