SCP-6225

Expected annual

$1.5M

One-time setup

$4.1M

Annual recurring

$1.5M

Personnel

One-time capital/setup costs are approximately $4.06M driven by sensor R&D, a possible Kronos base and emergency reserves; recurring annual costs are about $1.49M mainly driven by continuous staff wages, contingency reserve, legal/cover expenses, and expedition/medical operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr

87.0% probability / year

Normal, uneventful year with ongoing monitoring, staffing, and occasional small missions; no major escalations or Kronos base deployment.

steady low-rate transports routine monitoring no major incidents

🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline

Small-scale extractions/rescues or a local discovery requiring additional mission costs and medical/amnestic use.

single multi-team rescue mission several amnestic/medical administrations

🚨 Major Breach $2.7M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline

Significant escalation with multiple casualties, loss of equipment, large-scale legal exposure and emergency asset deployment.

widespread transport events civilian harm and media/legal exposure activation of emergency response

🚨 Kronos Camp Deployment $3.2M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$1.7M vs baseline

Decision/year in which a long-term Kronos base is constructed and initially resupplied, including capital outlays and heavy logistics.

policy decision to establish permanent camp sustained rescue/operations in Kronos

📋 Confidence Notes

Wide parameter ranges, extraspatial uncertainty, and mission frequency assumptions drive low confidence; many items are conditional (Kronos base, large-scale responses) and require policy decisions.
