Estimated one-time capital and setup costs are approximately $105,675,000 driven by contingency reserves, air assets, lab buildouts and infrastructure; steady-state annual operations are roughly $31,850,000 driven mainly by staff wages, contingency/top-up reserves, cover-story/legal operations, emergency-response funds, and transportation/sensor operations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on broad ranges provided in analyst notes and are sensitive to per-event frequency, choice of capital strategy (purchase vs charter for air assets), and the unpredictable temporospatial behavior of SCP-6030; per-case costs and incident frequency are highly uncertain, reducing confidence.
