One-time setup
$13.2M
Annual recurring
$4.0M
Personnel
8
Per-instance initial capital (chamber + site-share of equipment/R&D/reserves) is approximately $13.17M with major drivers being reinforced chamber construction, contingency/reserve allocation and specialized R&D; baseline annual operations (security, staff, utilities, monitoring, cover-up) are ~ $4.00M per year.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $13.2M
Facilities $5.5M
[#1, #2, #3, #4, #16] Reinforced chamber construction, deep foundations/site reinforcement, secondary pressure-relief systems, blast-rated doors and HVAC initial install; estimate is the midpoint sum of provided per-chamber ranges (per-instance capital).
Contingency Reserve $4.6M
[#27] Site-level contingency/catastrophic reconstruction reserve (midpoint of provided range), pro-rated/allocated as a one-time reserve per site and attributed per-instance for this estimate.
Site Duplication Premium $1.2M
[#31] One-time premium to duplicate specialized instruments/personnel for an additional self-sufficient site (full tranche as noted in analyst guidance).
Specialized Containment R And D $917K
[#25] Initial tranche for R&D into adaptive containment/prototypes; multi-year program cost pro-rated to per-instance share (assumed 6-instance site).
Equipment $667K
[#5, #9, #14, #18, #20, #26, #30] Monitoring suite, initial server/storage hardware, emergency-response one-time equipment, generator purchase, sample vaults, heavy-lift equipment, IT/security hardware; site-level items pro-rated to a single-instance share (assumed 6-instance site where noted).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $208K
[#7] On-site analytical lab instrument initial purchase (GC-MS/ICP-MS, CT, scanners etc.); pro-rated share of site lab cost (assumed 6-instance site).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $4.0M/yr
Cover Story And Legal $1.4M/yr
[#22, #23, #28] Amnestic/cover-up operations budget, ongoing legal/liaison/front company costs, and insurance-equivalent/liability mitigation; midpoints summed.
Logistics And Transport $1.0M/yr
[#14, #15, #24] Annual emergency-response readiness/training and MTF rotation costs, plus an amortized allowance for occasional inter-site transport events; midpoints and an occasional-event amortization included.
Staff Wages $579K/yr
[#11, #12, #13] Security staffing (6 guards per chamber, loaded), pro-rated scientific staffing (site-pooled FTEs pro-rated to one instance at a 6-instance site), and technical/maintenance staff (pro-rated).
Research And Monitoring $422K/yr
[#8, #10, #32] Lab instrument service/contracts & consumables, ongoing data retention/analysis and long-term modelling/computation (data scientists/HPC/time).
Misc Overhead $150K/yr
[#33] Administrative overhead, communications, small replacements and site general overhead (midpoint).
Facilities Maintenance $145K/yr
[#6, #16, #17, #18] Monitoring maintenance/calibration, HVAC annual operating costs, utilities/power and backup-power fuel & maintenance (recurring portions); per-year midpoints used (#6 is per-chamber).
Hazardous Waste Management $138K/yr
[#19] Disposal and special-handling of anomalous/contaminated waste; midpoint annual estimate.
Supplies And Consumables $60K/yr
[#21] Laboratory and field consumables (gloves, reagents, filters, PPE) estimated at midpoint of provided range.
It Security And Access Control $60K/yr
[#30] Annual maintenance, licenses and penetration testing for IT and access-control systems (midpoint).
Psychological Support $60K/yr
[#29] Staff counseling, rotation and related programs to reduce human-error and stress (midpoint).
Sample Storage $15K/yr
[#20] Ongoing sample quarantine/storage & chain-of-custody recurring costs (pro-rated to per-instance share).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.0M/yr
69.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major containment incidents; routine maintenance, staffing, monitoring and cover-up activities only.
no containment failures routine monitoring and analysis standard personnel rotations
🚨 Minor Incident $4.5M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Limited containment anomaly requiring local repairs, MTF response, amnestic deployment and short-term data/sample recovery.
small structural breach localized sensor/monitor damage limited civilian exposure requiring amnestics
🚨 Major Breach $19.0M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure requiring chamber rebuild, heavy salvage, prolonged MTF operations, large-scale amnestic/cover-up and site-level repairs.
major structural failure large debris/mass redistribution prolonged public exposure / extensive amnestic operations
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $34.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Catastrophic uncontrolled mass/energy generation or analogous event causing site-level destruction, long-term remediation, relocation and extreme cover-up measures.
unbounded mass/energy increase site-wide structural collapse major public exposure / national-level response

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#11] Typical continuous guard coverage model: six guards assigned per chamber (2 per shift × 3 shifts).
Research Scientist 1 [#12] Pro-rated share of site-pooled scientific staff (4–8 FTEs pooled at site; per-instance allocation assumed).
Engineer / Maintenance 1 [#13] Pro-rated technical/maintenance staff to support HVAC, containment systems and robotics (2–4 FTEs site-pooled; per-instance allocation assumed).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges given in analyst notes and assume a bounded, engineering-manageable transformation range and a 6-instance-per-site pro-rata allocation. Critical uncertainty remains over the true upper bound of SCP-6625's mass/volume/energy changes — if transformations are unbounded estimates become invalid and costs effectively unbounded.
