SCP-6627

Expected annual

$14.9M

One-time setup

$11.1M

Annual recurring

$4.7M

Personnel

Estimated one-time capital of approximately $11.11M for site acquisition, sealing/structural work, lab/R&D and disposal infrastructure, with recurring operations around $4.735M/yr driven primarily by staff wages, research monitoring, security, and contingency readiness.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.7M/yr

88.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with no major incidents; regular monitoring, maintenance, staff wages and planned R&D.

routine_operations scheduled_testing no_security_breaches

🚨 Minor Incident $5.0M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline

Small intrusion or localized containment incident requiring emergency response, amnestics and limited cleanup.

intrusion limited_media_leak localized_contamination

🚨 Major Breach $9.7M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline

Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring demolition/large-scale remediation, mass amnestics, legal settlements and prolonged response.

🚨 Catastrophic Production $100.0B/yr

0.0% probability / year +$100.0B vs baseline

SCP is restored to production-scale operation, producing extremely large quantities of hazardous/prohibited materials (effectively unbounded containment cost).

📋 Confidence Notes

Individual line-item ranges were provided in analyst notes allowing mid-range estimates, but many items (legal/incident-driven costs, catastrophic disposal) are highly uncertain and potentially unbounded, so overall confidence is moderate.
