Initial capital costs are dominated by sensor deployment, facility upgrades and an optional large-scale sociological engineering program (total one-time ~USD 305M including the optional program). Baseline recurring operations (staff, research, maintenance, logistics, legal/PR, contingency) are estimated at ~USD 60.8M/year, driven principally by field recovery personnel, research and contingency reserves.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $60.8M/yr
92.0% probability / year
Normal year with planned operations, maintenance, research, and routine personnel activity; no major incidents or program-scale interventions.

🚨 Minor Incident $70.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Localized disaster or vandalism damages multiple sensor nodes and requires emergency replacements, temp surge in recoveries and legal/PR response.

🚨 Major Breach $110.8M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Multiple subjects access SCP-6916-A in the same period, causing several unrecoverable losses, mass amnestic operations and international exposure requiring large recovery/legal costs.

🚨 Sociological Scaleup $260.8M/yr

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 80 [#4] Field recovery teams: 20teams × 4 agents (fully loaded wages included in staff_wages).
Medical Officer 10 [#6] Clinical physicians/lead clinicians for three oneirological treatment clinics (portion of clinic salary budget).
Nursing / Clinical Staff 25 [#6] Nursing and clinical support staff for inpatient oneirological clinics (portion of clinic salary budget).
Administrative / Watch Officers (command centers) 18 [#3] Regional command & monitoring centers staffing (3 centers, watch teams and coordination staff).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and rely on several high-uncertainty assumptions (sensor count, treatment rates, political/covert access across jurisdictions, likelihood of large-scale sociological action). Many SCP-specific unknowns and option-driven big-ticket items (note #15) reduce confidence.
