One-time setup
$73.9M
Annual recurring
$25.8M
Personnel
98
One-time capital and program setup (~$74M) dominated by a recommended emergency reserve and global infrastructure buildout; recurring annual costs (~$25.8M/yr) are driven primarily by salaries for deployable response teams, regional operations and ongoing webcrawler/monitoring and contingency reserves.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $73.9M
Contingency Reserve One Time $50.0M
[#24] Recommended initial emergency reserve for populated-area manifestation and large-scale response (conservative lower-end reserve $50M of the $50–100M suggested).
Facilities $11.2M
[#3, #5] Costs cover construction/refurbishment of 50 covert listening posts (example midpoint $3.75M) and 5 regional rapid-response staging centers (mid-range allocation $7.5M).
Equipment $9.0M
[#1, #8, #9, #22] One-time procurement/development: webcrawler & detection software development ($250k), fleet vehicles + one helicopter ($6.45M), specialized field sensor suites ($2.0M), and initial secure-communications hardware ($300k).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $3.5M
[#11, #17] Lab and research-capable facilities buildout: secure forensics/evidence lab (~$500k) plus memetics/anomaly research lab buildout (~$3.0M).
Training And Sop Development $175K
[#19] Initial development of training courses, SOPs, materials and initial instructor preparation.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $25.8M/yr
64.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, maintenance, scheduled training and no major incidents.
routine monitoring scheduled maintenance no major public manifestation
🚨 Minor Incident $26.3M/yr
30.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized leak or viral media capture requiring targeted field deployment, extra takedowns and PR work.
viral civilian media localized field deployment increased legal/PR activity
🚨 Major Breach $30.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Larger or multi-site manifestation requiring multiple team mobilization, substantial amnestic use and extended operations.
multi-site simultaneous events high civilian exposure extended containment operations
🚨 Populated Area Manifestation $75.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
SCP-6328 manifests in a populated urban area triggering Document 6328-1 emergency plans, mass evacuation, widescale amnestic distribution and interstate coordination.
urban manifestation mass civilian exposure nation/state-level emergency response

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 80 Deployable rapid-response field teams (10-person teams × ~8 teams = 80); salaries and payroll load factored into staff_wages [#7].
Research Scientist 10 Memetics and anomaly research staff / containment officers included in staff_wages [#18].
Historian / Translator / Archaeologist 8 Historical research and translation specialists included in staff_wages [#16].
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and representative baselines but subject to high uncertainty due to the anomalous, unpredictable nature of SCP-6328, variation in site counts, and large contingency exposures.
