SCP-4747
Expected annual
$9.1M
One-time setup
$2.3M
Annual recurring
$8.6M
Personnel
41
Initial one-time setup (~$2.3M) is driven by containment construction, fixed incinerator installation, HVAC/environmental controls, and initial webcrawler/equipment; recurring annual costs (~$8.6M/yr) are dominated by personnel wages (MTF, security, medical, researchers), legal/cover operations, amnestic procurement, and an incident reserve.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.6M/yr
82.0% probability / year
Routine year with standard monitoring, takedown, medical administration at expected caseload; no major incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$850K vs baseline
Localized cluster(s) requiring multiple domestic MTF deployments, elevated amnestic use and legal/PR surge.

🚨 Major Breach $11.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Significant international incidents or many simultaneous performances requiring large-scale deployments, emergency clinics, and expanded takedown/legal operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing reasonable mid-range estimates, but many items (incident frequency, number of performances, policy choices on amnestic vs. legal suppression) are uncertain, producing moderate confidence.
