Initial one-time capital and structural works are the largest up-front costs (~$29.3M), while ongoing annual operations (security, cover/legal, research and monitoring) dominate recurring costs (~$14.06M/yr). Major drivers are structural reinforcement, legal/relocation contingencies, and continuous cover/liaison operations.

Facilities $9.3M
[#1, #2, #3, #13] Reinforced perimeter access controls, structural reinforcement of catacombs, on-site facility fit-out (labs/HQ/dorms/decon) and pumps/piping installation. Sum of midrange estimates for civil works and fitout.
Contingency Reserve $8.0M
[#22] Standby emergency/rapid escalation fund for major reproductive events, mass exposure, or large-scale containment actions.
Public Relocation Buyouts $5.0M
[#18] Partial buyout/relocation contingency for affected residents (assumed moderate-scale buyouts rather than full worst-case citywide purchases).
Legal Municipal Cover One Time $3.0M
[#17] One-time legal/diplomatic/cooperation buy-in, permits/bribes/PR setup for municipal cover in France (midrange contingency selected).
Equipment $2.7M
[#6, #8, #12, #14, #15, #21, #24] One-time hardware/software and equipment: memetic testing systems (#6), design/artwork (#8), monitoring hardware (#12), cutting tools/remote manipulators (#14), remote/robotic systems (#15), vehicle procurement (#21), secure data/communications systems (#24).

[#16] Containment/juvenile-holding lab buildout and dedicated suites for SCP-6565-1 care and assays.
Cutting Incident Contingency $500K
[#14] One-time large-growth incident contingency (additional emergency funds for large incineration/containment beyond annual budget).
Training Initial Program $100K
[#23] Initial memetic hazard training and inoculation program development and rollout.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $14.1M/yr
Staff Wages $5.2M/yr
[#4, #5, #7, #9, #10, #11] Permanent security staff (guards + supervisors), rapid-response/tactical operators, daily testing/compliance technicians, medic staffing portion, on-site medical/mental-health salaries, core research scientist salaries. Salaries and benefits (midrange sum).
Cover Story And Legal $5.0M/yr
[#17, #18, #19, #26, #28] Ongoing legal/diplomatic liaison, municipal/police liaison stipends, covert surveillance/liaison operations, community outreach/mitigation programs, and annual insurance/legal reserve budgeting.
Research And Monitoring $1.9M/yr
[#6, #12, #16, #24, #27] Ongoing memetic testing operations/updates, telemetry/monitor maintenance, juvenile care/research operating costs, secure data/archives maintenance, and multi-year research program funding.
Facilities Maintenance $620K/yr

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $14.1M/yr

🚨 Minor Incident $14.6M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized growth/spike in birthing requiring overtime, extra incineration, short-term contractor hires and temporary repairs.
localized overgrowth increased SCP-6565-1 output
🚨 Major Breach $19.1M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Significant uncontrolled birthing, memetic exposure incident, or targeted sabotage requiring large-scale emergency response and PR/legal action.

🚨 Large Scale Relocation $44.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Decision or requirement to purchase/relocate large numbers of surface residents or perform city-scale mitigation for the affected district.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are high-uncertainty (scale of affected population, exact nutrient volumes, memetic effects). Large drivers (relocation, legal buy-in, contingency reserve) are speculative and could vary by an order of magnitude; chosen midrange assumptions produce low confidence in precise totals.
