SCP-6550
Expected annual
$346.5M
One-time setup
$5.7B
Annual recurring
$336.5M
Personnel

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 150 [#12] Front-line armed security, guards and on-site rapid-response personnel; count derived from the analyst's 100–300 range and mapped to the security payroll estimate.
Research Scientist 100 [#13, #19] Physics/occult researchers, analysts and clairvoyant tasking staff; count derived from the analyst's 50–200 range and mapped to the scientific payroll estimate.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to broad ranges in source notes, novel anomalous engineering (SRAs, deep cooling), and unpredictable breach/contingency needs; many major line items are order-of-magnitude estimates rather than fixed bids.
