SCP-6076

Expected annual

$3.2M

One-time setup

$5.7M

Annual recurring

$3.1M

Personnel

Initial capital/setup is approximately $5.7M driven by site retrofit, turret and R&D purchases; annual operating costs are ~ $3.08M/yr driven by security staffing, MTF readiness, repairs and research. A large one-time emergency reserve (~$2M) is recommended for catastrophic breaches.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.1M/yr

80.0% probability / year

Normal uneventful year with routine operations, scheduled research and readiness budgets only.

no breach routine maintenance scheduled feedings

🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr

12.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline

Localized breach/active period causing limited hardware damage and a single MTF deployment with medevac.

single turret destroyed one MTF deployment limited structural/door repairs

🚨 Major Breach $5.6M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline

Severe breach with extensive hardware destruction, multiple deployments, casualties, and legal/public exposure costs.

vault door breached multiple turrets destroyed mass-casualty and public exposure

🚨 Clandestine Procurement $3.3M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$178K vs baseline

Operational decision/failure mode where dog meat is sourced clandestinely rather than via cultured substitute, increasing recurring procurement and legal risk costs.

illegal sourcing chosen increased cover/legal costs higher per-feeding procurement

👥 Personnel 14 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	8	On-site armed guards and perimeter security included in staff wages [#8].
Remote Monitoring Operator	2	Camera/operators and turret operators included in staff wages [#8, #4].
Research Scientist	2	Research staff funded within research_and_monitoring budget [#15].

Administrative Staff	1	Site admin and liaison support included across cover_story_and_legal and operational budgets [#20].

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are midpoints from wide ranges provided in analyst notes; many costs depend on policy choices (cultured vs clandestine sourcing), turret quantity/hardening and uncertainty around breach frequency, so moderate confidence.
