Expected annual
$71.0M
One-time setup
$534.2M
Annual recurring
$67.8M
Personnel
540
Initial setup costs are large (mid-hundreds of millions) driven by R&D for psi/memetic shielding, experimental containment tech, and a large catastrophic reserve; ongoing annual costs are dominated by full-time battalion manning and recurring maintenance/operations (~tens of millions/yr).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $67.8M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, monthly Procedure Jörd, no major incidents or exposures.
no breach routine research standard rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $69.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Limited containment breach or hazardous manifestation requiring short RTF deployment, extra hazardous-waste disposal and temporary research surge.
localized manifest/hazard short-term security deployment extra disposal and analysis
🚨 Major Breach $117.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Significant breach or series of dangerous manifestations requiring extended RTF operations, large-scale containment repairs, external asset deployments and substantial cleanup.
multiple hazardous manifestations extended RTF deployment facility damage and large cleanup
🚨 Political Exposure $267.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Public or governmental exposure forcing major legal, PR, compensation and possible relocation or expanded containment measures.
media or local-government exposure mass displacement claims legal/political escalation

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 500 ACB Lambda-01 battalion continuous manning (note #5); primary recurring wage driver.
Research Scientist 15 Botany/xenobiology, cognitive science, memetics, materials engineers, linguists (note #9); includes senior scientists and technicians.

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges in analyst estimates, large unknowns driven by SCP's manifesting and telepathic capabilities, and significant tail-risk (catastrophic breaches) make precise costing uncertain.
