Initial one-time capital to prepare a Euclid-class containment cell and associated equipment is estimated at approximately $3.75M, driven by containment retrofit, HVAC/cold storage, backup power, monitoring and contingency reserves. Annual recurring operations are estimated near $1.96M/yr, dominated by staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, energy, and readiness/contingency replenishment.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, allowing a reasonable mid-range estimate, but the SCP's anomalous oneiric properties and wide cost ranges for contingencies/cover make precise costing uncertain.
