[#3] Secure, air-gapped containment lab build-out (EMP/EMI shielding, access control, CCTV, two-person rule systems).

[#4] Specialized memetic-safe vault design and commissioning (redundant two-factor entry, memetic filtering interface, sealed terminals).

[#10] Development of provable kill-switch/sandbox tools (software & hardware engineering, independent audits) — one-time development cost.

[#15] Single priority MTF Alpha-7 operation to locate PoI-9414 (planning + logistics + assets) — chosen typical estimate.

[#1] Three custom vacuum-sealed containment lockers (vacuum-capable, pumps, sensors, alarms) — chosen midpoint estimate for three units.

[#22] Specialized compute/emulation hardware for safe offline study (classical + photonics-emulation hardware) — initial procurement.

[#11] Forensic analysis of SCP-5171 logs and Rhyme.aic history (reverse engineering, contractor use).

[#12] One-time duplication/transfer of hardened backups / duplicate vault creation (geographically separated copies).

[#27] Public/cover operations & contingency communication one-time costs (false-flag docs, initial rapid-narrative prep, safehouse setup).

[#2] Centralized vacuum pumps, spare seals, gauges, tooling and spares to maintain vacuum integrity (one-time infrastructure/spares purchase).

[#23] Archival redaction / data-expungement effort (technical and legal labor) — chosen moderate-scope estimate.

[#19] Specialized PPE and memetic-filter devices initial procurement (special goggles/headsets/protocol devices, single-use consumables initial buy).

[#13] Purchase of certified media destruction capability (one-time equipment/contract setup).

[#5, #6, #7] Security guards 7 FTE (~$525k/yr), memetics specialists 4 FTE (~$560k/yr), system administrators/IT security 2 FTE (~$240k/yr) — salaries & benefits.

[#8, #10, #14, #18, #20, #21, #22, #25, #26] Continuous environmental monitoring & contract staffing (~$65k/yr), kill-switch patching/audits (~$50k/yr), red-team/adversarial testing (~$100k/yr), ethics oversight (~$40k/yr), training & recertification (~$80k/yr), psychological support (~$40k/yr), compute/emulation maintenance (~$30k/yr), opportunity cost (notional research-loss ~$200k/yr), ongoing audit/admin overhead (~$80k/yr).

[#15, #16] Ongoing intelligence/HUMINT/SIGINT to track PoI-9414 and related long-term investigative costs (~$400k/yr chosen mid-range).

[#17, #27] Ongoing legal retained counsel and cover-story maintenance (~$50k/yr) plus public/cover contingency (~$50k/yr).

[#3, #9] Lab and vault maintenance and utilities: lab maintenance (~$30k/yr) + power/climate/utility overhead (~$25k/yr).

[#13] Secure transport retainer / expected per-year average of guarded transfers and shielding logistics (~$50k/yr assumed average).

[#12] Storage fees and rotation for at least two geographically separated hardened copies (~$25k/yr per vault assumed, two vaults).

[#19, #13] Consumables and replacements: PPE replacements and consumables (~$10k/yr), media destruction annual contracts (~$5k/yr), plus small consumables and replacements (~$20k/yr).

[#2] Consumables for vacuum systems: spare seals, O-rings, replacement gauges and reseal materials (~$10k/yr).
