Annual recurring
$178K
Personnel

One-time setup and contingency reserves dominate costs (~$1.25M); baseline recurring costs are modest (~$178k/yr) driven by security, minimal research oversight, and monitoring systems.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.3M
Contingency Goi Interaction $500K
[#16] Contingency fund for GoI interaction / retrieval operations — analyst range $250k–$1.5M; representative contingency/reserve chosen for planning.
Long Term Replacement Reserve $500K
[#18] Long-term replacement/recapture reserve — recommended $500,000 capital reserve for major remediation or recapture.
Contingency Reactivation $150K
[#17] Contingency for active anomalous re-activation / emergency neutralization — analyst range $50k–$300k; representative emergency response reserve chosen.
Facilities $60K
[#1] Secure storage-cell reinforcement (walls, door, tamperproof locks, grounding) — build/modify a small containment room inside Site-19 (materials + labour + minor HVAC tie-in).
Equipment $26K
[#3, #7, #13] Fixed surveillance & sensor package ($14,000); Environmental control purchase/installation ($6,000); PPE/decon & HM equipment initial kit ($6,000).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $178K/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine monitoring, minimal incremental security, and archival/storage costs.

🚨 Minor Incident $193K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$15K vs baseline
Minor containment incident or equipment failure requiring repairs, overtime, and sensor replacement.

🚨 Goi Recovery Operation $728K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$550K vs baseline
Active GoI attempt to recover SCP-6628-1 triggering field operations, covert assets, and recovery mission expenditures.
GoI_activity attempted_extraction
🚨 Active Reactivation $478K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Unexpected re-activation or anomalous behavior requiring emergency neutralization, specialist response, and mobile lab activation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#5] Incremental dedicated security staffing (part-time supplement model assumed for baseline).
Research Scientist / Containment Officer 1 [#12] Minimal research/oversight allocation (~0.2 FTE) but one assigned researcher on duty for reviews and audits.
Conservator / Curator 1 [#9] Part-time conservator support for artifact preservation (0.05–0.1 FTE represented by one assigned specialist).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for routine costs (medium confidence), but multiple contingency ranges and event-driven uncertainties (GoI interactions, reactivation) reduce overall precision.
