One-time startup costs are dominated by physical fit-out, specialized instrumentation and an optional suppression installation (~$615k total one-time). Recurring annual costs are driven primarily by retained personnel salaries, contingency/reserve funds, and ongoing research/monitoring (~$637k/yr baseline recurring).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $637K/yr
80.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with minimal posture (monitoring, retained employment, limited research) and budgeted reserves.
no major incidents standard monitoring and research only
🚨 Conservative Containment $1.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$445K vs baseline
Site upgrades to conservative posture during the year: installation of suppression field and transition to dedicated 24/7 security.
policy decision to actively suppress detected elevated spectral activity prompting upgrades
🚨 Minor Incident $787K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
A minor activation or anomalous event requiring MTF response and emergency expenditures beyond routine reserves.
localized activation temporary containment breach or environmental manipulation

Role Count Notes
Assigned Subject / Contained Employee 1 [#1] SCP-6732-1 (Dr. Edward Dahl) retained on payroll and subject to restrictions.
Research Scientist 1 [#8] Department of Spectral Phenomena senior researcher (~1 FTE) for oversight.
Technician / Analyst 1 [#9] Technical support for data collection and logging (~0.5–1.0 FTE rounded to 1).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#10] Minimal incremental security posture (~0.5 FTE estimated, rounded to 1 for headcount accounting).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide many explicit line items and estimates enabling a reasoned budget, but several items are optional, posture-dependent, and have wide ranges (e.g., suppression hardware, security posture), so uncertainty remains.
