One-time setup
$1.8M
Annual recurring
$607K
Personnel
4
One-time setup and hardening are approximately $1.76M driven primarily by property acquisition and potential containment buildout; recurring operations are about $606.6k/year driven by staff wages, contracted security, and research/monitoring.

Role Count Notes
On-site Agent 1 [#2, #4] Single full-time agent residing in neighboring property to perform continuous monitoring and cover duties.
Research / Rotation Staff 3 [#4] Rotational monitoring staff (bi-weekly rotations) providing continuous coverage; totals align with staff_wages FTE estimate.
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are imprecise due to the anomalous nature of SCP-6906 (psychological effects, failed sampling) and wide ranges provided for robotics/R&D, containment buildout, and incident response; many line items are contingent on uncertain technical progress.
