SCP-6617
Expected annual
$14.2M
One-time setup
$45.0M
Annual recurring
$13.4M
Personnel
33
Initial setup requires sizable capital for ship acquisition/retrofit and a hardened offshore outpost (~$45.0M one-time), while annual operations are driven by continuous vessel patrols, logistics/resupply and staffing (~$13.4M/year). Primary cost drivers are vessel operations/logistics, staff wages, and cover-up/legal operations.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $13.4M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with continuous patrol, routine maintenance, scheduled resupply, and no major incidents.
no breaches routine weather steady staffing/turnover
🚨 Minor Incident $14.9M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Small-scale incident requiring extra repairs, short-term surge in med/psych services and PR/legal response (e.g., small vessel grounding, limited exposure event).
small grounding/contact limited medical/psychological incidents local media exposure
🚨 Major Breach $45.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$32.0M vs baseline
Loss or disabling of a primary vessel or major escalation requiring vessel replacement, large-scale emergency operations, and potential neutralization/evacuation capital spending.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing reasonable mid-point estimates; however substantial variance exists for capital vessel costs, contingency neutralization programs, and legal/cover-up scope, so overall confidence is medium rather than high.
