One-time startup costs are substantial (construction, root-containment, site utilities and R&D), while annual operating costs are driven primarily by staffing, blood procurement/handling, psychological care, and contingency planning. Baseline annual recurring cost is approximately $2.59M, with one-time startup ~ $5.18M.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.6M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year operating Outpost-6376 using a Foundation donor program, owned refrigerated transport, and scheduled research/maintenance.
regular blood procurement via donor program routine staffing and maintenance no major incidents or public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Localized incident (staff attempts to harm SCP, limited breach or medical exposure) requiring emergency medical/psychiatric response, investigations and replacement staffing.
staff breach/attempted damage (see Incident-6376) medical/psychiatric emergency response investigation and temporary increased security
🚨 Major Breach $4.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment breach, public exposure or sustained loss of blood supply requiring major recovery, replacement infrastructure, high-level cover operations and legal containment.
public/political exposure of site sustained supply-chain disruption or large security breach major incident requiring large-scale cover-up and asset replacement

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line-item ranges and operational history (including an incident), so estimates are moderate confidence; uncertainty remains in choice of blood-supply model, frequency/scale of Ritual-6376 and potential legal/exposure events.
