SCP-6758
Expected annual
$15.4M
One-time setup
$188.9M
Annual recurring
$13.9M
Personnel
38
Initial setup is capital-intensive (facility, drone fleet, sensors, remediation and large contingency reserves) leading to a one-time cost near $189M; ongoing operations are driven by staffing, memetics research, drone/sensor ops, legal/cover activities and remediation readiness (~$13.9M/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges in the analyst notes are large and many costs are contingency/reserve funds tied to political variables; memetic behavior, breach frequency and per-event remediation costs are highly uncertain, so estimates are low-confidence.
