SCP-6671
Expected annual
$8.7M
One-time setup
$65.3M
Annual recurring
$7.8M
Personnel
48
Initial capital outlay is dominated by facility construction and a large contingency reserve, with total one-time setup running to tens of millions. Recurring annual costs are driven by high-readiness security/MTF staffing, core research operations, training/drills, and cover/legal/liaison budgets, producing a multi-million dollar yearly baseline.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and estimates for most categories, producing a reasonable cost model; uncertainty remains around expedition frequency, incident probabilities, and the scale of Procedure 313 responses, so confidence is medium.
