SCP-6067

Expected annual

$6.3M

One-time setup

$61.2M

Annual recurring

$6.0M

Personnel

One-time capital costs are approximately $61,220,000 driven primarily by specialized containment construction, large contingency reserves for mass/volume growth and expansion, and heavy-equipment/neutralization reserves. Recurring annual operations are approximately $5,985,000/year driven by staff wages (security, technicians, researchers, engineers), administrative overhead, and ongoing maintenance/consumables.
