SCP-4349
Expected annual
$5.4M
One-time setup
$17.1M
Annual recurring
$4.9M
Personnel
27
Initial capital outlays (BSL-3 build, facility retrofits, surge/contingency reserves) dominate one-time costs (~$17M), while recurring annual operations (staff wages, research, surveillance, PPE, legal/cover-story) drive ongoing costs (~$4.86M/yr). Major breaches can raise annual costs into the tens of millions.
