Annual recurring
$689K
Personnel

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $689K/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with scheduled monitoring, no major incidents.
weekly MRI and routine monitoring no exposure events routine research activities
🚨 Minor Incident $809K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized discovery or exposure requiring amnestic administration, short-term legal/medical response.
hospital staff exposure small-scale memetic/amnestic response minor legal engagement
🚨 Major Breach $1.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant medical emergency, litigation, or relocation of monitored family requiring large one-time expenditures.
acute neurosurgical event litigation or public exposure mass relocation/compensation
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $889K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Discovery that prompts expanded research, equipment purchases, and added staff.
successful stimulation of SCP-5305-2 ethics committee authorizes expanded experiments need for advanced imaging and personnel
👥 Personnel 7 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#2] Incremental assignment of one additional Level-2 guard per shift with relief across 3 shifts (6 FTEs total).
Research Scientist / Containment Officer 1 [#3, #5] 0.5–1.0 FTE neuroscientist/containment specialist (rounded to 1 FTE) to schedule/interpret scans and coordinate monitoring; radiological analysis contracted separately.
📋 Confidence Notes
Core recurring items (weekly MRI, security, assigned researcher) are well-specified; uncertainty remains around number/frequency of offspring to monitor, litigation/relocation needs, and whether extensive research or major medical events occur.
