SCP-6796
Expected annual
$3.2M
One-time setup
$7.1M
Annual recurring
$3.0M
Personnel
19
Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $6.75M (dominated by an escalation contingency and facility/setup costs); annual recurring operations are roughly $3.02M/yr, driven by staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, legal/PR contingency, and an operational contingency reserve.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
72.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine monitoring, occasional minor responses, and no major breaches or escalations.
routine_monitoring infrequent_minor_discharges no major containment incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $3.1M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
One or more noticeable SCP-6796 thaumic discharges requiring field response, amnestic administration to witnesses, takedown efforts and follow-up medical tests.

🚨 Major Breach $5.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or anomalous reaction (e.g., SCP-6796-A-style event) causing casualties, emergency containment operations, large-scale legal/PR response and investigation.

🚨 Escalation Project Caliburn $23.0M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$20.0M vs baseline
Escalation scenario where SCP-6796 requires centralized Project Caliburn-level containment, mass amnestization, expanded housing and major research scale-up.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates drawn from analyst ranges and reasonable mid-point assumptions; many line items have wide ranges (especially contingency and escalation costs) and depend heavily on unknowns like incident frequency and cohort size, so confidence is medium.
