One-time setup
$482K
Annual recurring
$952K
Personnel
6
Initial one-time setup (secure locker, test chamber, specialized equipment, and a seed contingency) is roughly $480k; ongoing annual operations are dominated by staffing, rapid-response readiness and research/testing, yielding baseline yearly costs just under $1.0M, with potential catastrophic events driving multi-million-dollar spikes.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $952K/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with containment intact, limited scheduled testing, no major incidents.
hat kept separated limited controlled testing no accidental activations
🚨 Minor Incident $982K/yr
10.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Small accidental activation or test complication requiring local remediation and limited MTF response.
accidental hat placement small-scale contamination or corpses generated
🚨 Major Breach $1.5M/yr
4.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant active-phase escalation producing multiple hostile entities or a duplication requiring multi-day MTF deployment and major repairs.
extended active-phase (13+ days) duplication of hostile SCP or pocket-dimension formation multi-room structural damage
🚨 Catastrophic Cascade $11.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Severe duplication or cascade event (new Keter/Euclid manifestation or public exposure) requiring multi-site response and long-term containment construction.
uncontrolled duplication of another SCP public exposure or multi-site cascade

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#4] Two full-time guards listed (covers two-person rule / overlap).
Research Scientist 1 [#6, #17] Approx. 0.5 FTE research time (represented as one part-time researcher on staff).
Containment Technician 1 [#6] ~0.5 FTE containment technician for test prep and oversight.
Administrative Staff 1 [#5] 0.25–0.5 FTE access-control administration (pro-rated to one part-time admin headcount).
Medical Officer 1 [#11] On-site/on-call medical capability allocated (rotating or part-time equivalent).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges, allowing reasonable mid-range estimates, but many items (duplication cascades, incident frequency) are open-ended and probabilistic; therefore confidence is moderate.
