One-time setup
$8.0M
Annual recurring
$3.2M
Personnel
15
One-time capital and contingency expenses total roughly $8.05M driven by a facility-buildout reserve and contingency funds; recurring annual operating costs are approximately $3.21M driven mainly by protective/security staffing, RRT operations, legal/insurance, and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.2M/yr
63.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing containment activities and no major incidents beyond routine operations.
no major incidents routine inspections and deployments only
🚨 Minor Incident $3.4M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
One or more localized on-set accidents or contamination events requiring RRT deployments, cleanup, and modest legal/PR responses.
single on-set accident minor contamination requiring cleanup limited medevac or overtime deployment
🚨 Major Incident $4.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
A serious injury, multiple simultaneous incidents, or a high-profile event requiring major remediation, significant legal payouts, and production disruption.
major on-set injury or fire large legal settlement multi-day production shutdown
🚨 Catastrophic Breach Or Shutdown $9.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Escalation forcing prolonged production shutdown, large buyouts, and initiation of full containment facility buildout or major relocation.
extended production shutdown facility relocation or containment construction multi-million-dollar legal/settlement event

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed with line-item ranges, so mid-level confidence in magnitudes is warranted; however the anomalous and episodic nature of SCP-6690 (unpredictable incident frequency and potential for escalation) creates uncertainty in annual probabilities and contingency utilization.
