SCP-4628
Expected annual
$1.2M
One-time setup
$2.2M
Annual recurring
$1.1M
Personnel
8
Initial one-time containment and R&D buildout is estimated at roughly $2.24M, driven by airtight cell conversion, R&D (stability & memetics), and contingency reserves; recurring annual costs are ~ $1.13M, driven primarily by specialized personnel (kitchen, medical, security, memetics) and ongoing monitoring/operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.1M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, staffing, and scheduled drills only.
steady operations no breaches scheduled maintenance/events only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.2M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Small containment incident affecting one SCP-4628-2 (partial mass loss) requiring emergency reintegration, overtime kitchen labor, suit/container replacements, and limited amnestic/legal actions.
partial crumbling/loss of mass localized suit/container failure single-subject reintegration required
🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Public exposure or multi-subject incident requiring mass amnestic campaigns, large legal/PR response, significant replacements, and possible temporary scale-up of containment operations.
public ingestion/exposure multi-subject crumbling/mass loss legal/PR escalation
🚨 Containment Scaling Event $1.7M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
One or more additional SCP-4628-2 require containment in the same year, triggering accelerated construction/procurement and rapid hiring.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling midpoint-based estimates; uncertainty remains around number of subjects to budget for, frequency of incidents, and scale chosen for contingency/amnestics, so overall confidence is medium.
