SCP-4033
Expected annual
$106K
One-time setup
$64K
Annual recurring
$105K
Personnel
4
One-time setup (container, access controls, CCTV, sensors, documentation) is modest (~$63.5k). Recurring annual costs are driven mainly by staffing (curatorial, security, medical) and overhead (~$105k/yr), with incident-related costs rising sharply only if off-site activations occur.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $105K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal year with no off-site activations or major incidents; containment maintained and routine training/drills performed.
no public activations routine maintenance and training only
🚨 Minor Incident $115K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10K vs baseline
Single off-site activation or small containment event requiring a field retrieval team, limited amnestics and modest legal/PR action.
public touch/activation single small field deployment 1–3 persons require amnestics/medical follow-up
🚨 Major Incident $155K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Notable public activation or multiple-person event requiring extensive field operations, large-scale amnestic/legal/PR response and emergency containment upgrades.
high-visibility public activation multiple victims affected legal exposure / heavy PR response required

📋 Confidence Notes
Itemized costs are based on analyst ranges and standard site practices, but many entries are range estimates and several costs are infrequent/incident-driven (field deployments, large legal/PR). This yields moderate confidence.
