Initial capital one-time costs are dominated by a secure BSL-3/4 containment wing and specialized vehicles/evidence vaults (~$1.5M). Annual recurring costs (~$1.39M/yr baseline) are driven by staff wages, continuous webcrawler/monitoring and research, and legal/cover operations, with additional episodic per-incident expenditures.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.4M/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal monitoring year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, staffing, research and maintenance costs only.
no SCP-6361 events routine monitoring only
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
18.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Single moderate SCP-6361 event requiring MTF deployment, medical care, sequencing and cleanup.
single local performance moderate casualties and contamination
🚨 Major Multi-Site Event $5.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Large or multi-venue 'finale' requiring mass MTF mobilization, mass medical response, major cleanup, and contingency fund drawdown.
simultaneous multi-venue shows catastrophic contamination/large numbers of casualties
