SCP-6325
Expected annual
$2.6M
One-time setup
$3.2M
Annual recurring
$2.5M
Personnel
17
Initial capital expenditures are dominated by remote handling robotics, redundant spares, and reinforced humanoid cells; recurring annual costs are driven by personnel (security/medical), ongoing research and imaging contracts, legal/cover operations, and a standing incident response reserve.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $3.2M
Equipment $1.4M
[#1, #2, #5, #6, #7, #13, #20] Secure archival safe (6325-A), bank of 19 portable lockers (6325-B–T), remote handling/teleoperation lab, automated digitization scanner/servers (one-time portion), redundant robotic spare components, initial sedation/restraint equipment, and initial CCTV/tamper sensor hardware.
Facilities $1.0M
[#3, #4] Construction/installation of five reinforced humanoid containment cells and reinforced opaque covering/installation hardware for oversized/structural affected areas.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $710K
[#11, #12, #24, #25] Initial research program funding and lab buildout support (countermeasures R&D), initial forensic/material-analysis procurement, and small-scale "ownership substitute" R&D. (Note: imaging purchase optional — baseline assumes contracted imaging, so purchase amount set to 0 here.)
Sop And Training Initial $40K
[#8] Specialized SOP development, safety certification, operator simulation runs and initial operator training.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $2.5M/yr
Incident Response Fund $1.0M/yr
[#16] Standing rapid-deployment / contingency reserve for breaches, mass-casualty responses, recovery and large cleanup operations.
Research And Monitoring $518K/yr
[#6, #11, #12, #18, #20, #24] Recurring costs for archival storage/backups, contracted medical imaging/scans (if not purchased), ongoing countermeasure research support, archival expansion/conservation, CCTV/data retention maintenance, and follow-up forensic/material analyses.
Staff Wages $500K/yr
[#9, #10, #23] Dedicated security staffing (handling windows and 24/7 monitoring), emergency response/medical staffing (on-call medics, trauma capability) and psychological services/staff rotation/hazard pay.
Cover Story And Legal $350K/yr
[#14, #15] Legal/ethics retainers, containment liability funding and cover-story/public-affairs/covert containment expenditures.
Biohazard And Forensic Cleanup $60K/yr
[#17] Annual budget for hazardous waste removal, autopsy/forensic costs, disposal of destroyed inscribed materials and decontamination following violent incidents.
Equipment Service Contracts $50K/yr
[#5] Annual service/maintenance contracts and spare-part replenishment for remote handling and teleoperation systems.
Logistics And Transport $40K/yr
[#22] Secure transport cases, vehicle convoy availability and trained handlers for intersite transfers.
Supplies And Consumables $18K/yr
[#13, #21] Consumable sedation and restraint drugs/supplies and PPE / anti-possession disposable clothing systems.
Facilities Maintenance $14K/yr
[#19] Ongoing power, HVAC and monitoring utilities and basic maintenance for locker, cells and environmental control systems.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
96.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with strict remote-only handling and no major incidents; routine research and maintenance only.
remote-only testing no accidental human possession no major containment breach
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Limited violent incident or local breach (single enraged subject or small animal) requiring medical response, cleanup and legal work.
single-subject possession or accidental contact localized injury requiring hospitalization small forensic/cleanup operation
🚨 Major Breach $4.5M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or multi-subject incident requiring mass response, major equipment replacement and large legal/PR operations.
human possession during testing simultaneous failures of robotics and backups mass-casualty or high-profile exposure
👥 Personnel 17 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#9] Dedicated guards for handling windows and 24/7 monitoring shifts (includes hazard pay).

Research Scientist 3 [#11, #12, #24] Scientists conducting countermeasure research, forensic/material analyses, and overseeing imaging studies (may be supplemented by contracted services).
Engineer / Maintenance 2 [#5, #7] Robotics and teleoperation technicians responsible for maintenance, spare installation, and equipment service coordination.
Security / Monitoring Operator 2 [#9, #20] Operators for CCTV/tamper sensor monitoring and remote handling consoles during tests/transfers.
Administrative Staff 1 [#14, #15] Administrative and liaison support for legal/ethics coordination and cover-story logistics.
Psychological Services / Counselor 1 [#23] Staff rotation coordination, counseling for exposed personnel and management of hazard-pay rotation schedules.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items and ranges are detailed in analyst notes, but many items have wide ranges and options (e.g., purchase vs contract imaging, scale of R&D). Estimates use mid-range judgments and a baseline operational posture of strict remote handling; actual costs could vary substantially if research posture or incident frequency change.
