One-time setup
$6.8M
Annual recurring
$3.4M
Personnel
11
Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $6.83M driven mainly by potential specialized containment construction and equipment; ongoing baseline recurring costs are about $3.35M/year driven by dedicated staff, covert operations, legal/PR budgets, and sustained surveillance.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.4M/yr
89.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing investigation and no major incidents; all recurring baseline programs operate.
no breach no large legal action no specialized containment required
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Localized operational incident requiring emergency logistics, short-term covert activity, legal response and occasional amnestic administrations.
localized exposure targeted legal challenge small-scale breach or revelation
🚨 Major Breach $4.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Significant containment or exposure event requiring large-scale emergency response, international covert efforts and remediation.
large public exposure multi-jurisdictional incident major operational compromise
🚨 Specialized Containment Activation $6.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
Discovery or confirmation of anomalous properties requiring construction/activation of a dedicated containment suite.
anomalous properties confirmed containment requirements exceed existing facilities

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are highly elastic and conditional (legal/cover budgets, covert ops, specialized containment, amnestic use). SCP-6392's anomalous status is unresolved; assumptions about contingency allocation, one-time vs. conditional spends, and operational tempo drive low confidence.
