SCP-4877
Expected annual
$4.1M
One-time setup
$9.0M
Annual recurring
$3.9M
Personnel
15
Initial one-time setup is roughly $9.0M driven by facility construction, a drop-tower/structural work, an amnestic stockpile and a large containment reserve; recurring operations run ~ $3.93M/yr driven by staff wages, digital/media suppression, counterintelligence, medical coverage and ongoing research/flight campaigns.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.9M/yr
70.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, occasional small experiments and no major public exposures or large-scale incidents.
routine_research standard_containment no_public_breach
🚨 Minor Incident $4.1M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Single localized disappearance or exposure requiring a staged death, forensic work, extra legal/PR expenses and limited emergency medical response.
single_disappearance local_media_attention staged_death_required
🚨 Major Breach $6.4M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Widespread awareness or multiple simultaneous triggers requiring mass amnestic deployment, large legal settlements, emergency nationwide suppression and major stockpile replenishment.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 9 [#2] 24/7 coverage; roster chosen as midpoint of 6–12 guards to cover shifts, leave and overtime.
Research Scientist 2 [#3] Senior research staff (physicist, neuroscientist/lead investigators) included in research team FTEs.
Research Technician 4 [#3] Experiment technicians and technical support for free-fall trials and instrumentation.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to wide cost ranges in analyst notes and fundamental uncertainty about trigger frequency, scale and uncharacterized requirements for SCP-4877 (any individual can trigger it; anomalous behavior and viral spread are hard to predict). Many per-incident costs and contingency needs are scenario-dependent.
