SCP-7013
Expected annual
$44.6M
One-time setup
$260.3M
Annual recurring
$38.0M
Personnel
68
Initial one-time setup and large reserves dominate costs (≈$260M), driven by reconstruction/contingency funds and facility hardening; recurring annual costs are substantial (≈$38M/yr), driven by dedicated staff wages, oversight directorate, training, and the opportunity cost of altered governance.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $38.0M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; containment and mitigation programs operate as planned.
no breaches routine audits standard operations
🚨 Minor Incident $43.0M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Localized memetic/operational incident requiring emergency response, temporary relocation, extra legal/media action and surge staffing.
localized breach targeted memetic exposure emergency relocation
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $238.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Major containment failure or cascading anomalous events that requires large-scale remediation, reconstruction, and national-level emergency operations.
site-wide containment failure cascading infrastructure collapse large-scale personnel loss

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 13 [#3] 13 dedicated protection details as specified in analyst notes (counted as detail units/assigned security teams).
Research Scientist / Analyst 8 [#6] Continuous statistical/probabilistic analysis team (6–10 FTEs; midpoint ~8).
Clinical Psychologist / Medical Officer 5 [#9] Psychological assessment and support clinicians (4–6; midpoint ~5).
Oversight Directorate Staff 42 [#20] Permanent oversight directorate (30–60 FTEs; staff_wages allocation corresponds to ~41–42 FTEs at senior pay).
📋 Confidence Notes
Midpoint-based estimates were used for broad ranges and several high-uncertainty items (contingency/reserve amounts, neutralization R&D, opportunity costs). Many line items are organizational/political costs (hard to predict precisely), so confidence is medium.
