Initial capital/setup is substantial (roughly $7.9M in this estimate) driven by property acquisition, site conversion, and contingency/decommission funds. Annual baseline operations are about $4.02M/yr, driven primarily by staff wages (guards, MTF, researchers), monitoring/cleanup, and off-books/cover operations.

Baseline
(baseline)
$4.0M/yr
Normal, uneventful year: site operates with scheduled experiments, routine activations handled without major incident.
scheduled experiments
routine activations
no major security incidents
🚨
Minor Incident
$4.4M/yr
Localized containment incident or hazardous activation requiring extra cleanup, short MTF deployment, and targeted repairs/legal work.
small hazardous activation
targeted MTF response
extended cleanup and disposal
🚨
Major Breach
$6.5M/yr
Significant containment failure or expansion, substantial remediation, possible temporary site shutdown and large-scale MTF/contractor effort.
sustained anomalous expansion
fatality or structural damage
large-scale environmental contamination
🚨
Political Exposure
$4.8M/yr
Media/FOIA/political exposure forcing heavy legal, PR, buyouts, and increased cover/liaison spending to contain information spread.
public exposure or FOIA demand
local official inquiries
litigation or demands for remediation

Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided ranges are detailed and enable midpoint estimates, but SCP anomalous behavior and activation frequency remain uncertain; contingency needs and incident probabilities therefore limit confidence to medium.
