SCP-5017
Expected annual
$9.3M
One-time setup
$8.4M
Annual recurring
$9.1M
Personnel
73
One-time setup is approximately $8.36M driven by land acquisition, hardened containment vaults, mobile containment and heavy equipment; recurring costs are approximately $9.11M/yr driven primarily by security and scientific staff wages, active field operations, and a contingency reserve.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $8.4M
Facilities $6.4M
[#1, #2, #3, #4, #20, #23] Purchase of land/lease-choice assumed as purchase; cover-facade construction, hardened containment/vault, interior fittings, detainment suite and mobile containment unit.
Equipment $1.9M
[#5, #6, #11, #13, #14a, #16a, #17, #27a] Heavy-lift/transport rigging, generators/UPS, surveillance hardware, remote manipulation suite, initial teleportation experiment kit, communications/IT purchase, vehicle fleet and initial data infrastructure.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.1M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; program operates under purchase-based containment strategy with scheduled experiments and routine fieldwork.
normal operations scheduled experiments no breaches or escalations
🚨 Minor Incident $9.4M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Localized equipment damage, small containment repair or a short intensive field operation requiring replacement gear and overtime.
equipment failure small breach or localized damage short-term intensified field ops
🚨 Major Breach $12.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline
Return or direct action by PoI-305 (or similar high-risk event) prompting large-scale MTF deployments, emergency relocation or activation of mobile containment and significant replacement/repair costs.
PoI-305 appearance large-scale breach emergency mobile containment deployment
👥 Personnel 73 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 45 [#8] 24/7 armed security staffing (three shifts + leave buffer) as described in notes.
Research Scientist 18 [#9] Researchers, containment engineers, linguists, computational analysts and onsite observers (includes med techs referenced in #9).
Administrative Staff 10 [#10] Administration, janitorial, catering, HR and cover payroll for fake employees.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges; however large ranges and alternate options (purchase vs lease, variable field ops intensity, contingency sizing) produce moderate uncertainty in midpoints and scenario costs.
