Initial capital outlay estimated at $19,000,000 driven by remote high‑altitude construction, specialized instrumentation, and contingency reserves; recurring annual operations are approximately $5,540,000 driven by staff wages, helicopter logistics, and specialist monitoring/maintenance.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $19.0M
Facilities $9.6M
[#1, #10] Site‑95 hardened compound construction, living/acclimatization quarters, observation suite, weatherproofing and discrete structural bracing for the monastery; includes high‑altitude cost premiums.
Contingency Reserve $2.0M
[#20] Liquid emergency response and containment failure reserve held for rapid escalation (mobilizing heavy lift, demolition, or international cover operations).
Equipment $1.9M
[#4, #5, #8, #9, #13, #14, #15, #16] Initial hardware: power plant/generator + PV/battery setup, HVAC and life‑support hardware, remote sensor suite, Faraday/encrypted comms rooms, PPE & surgical readiness kits, autoclave/biohazard equipment, disposable probe stock, and local servers for data capture.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $1.7M
[#11, #12] Laboratory buildout and scientific instruments: cryogenic/cold‑trap gear, UHV/gloveboxes, particle/neutrino detectors and specialized mass/energy anomaly monitoring instrumentation.
Access Infrastructure $1.5M
[#2] Helipad construction, radio beacons, mountain rescue staging, and trail/landing zone improvements with high cost for airlifted heavy equipment.
Decommissioning $1.0M
[#25] End‑of‑program demolition, remediation and disposal costs for monastery and Site‑95 infrastructure.
Initial Legal And Diplomatic $700K
[#17] Upfront covert diplomatic/cover payments, permits, and initial community compensation/disinformation setup.
Insurance Reserve $500K
[#26] Internal risk premium/reserve to cover legal indemnity and unanticipated liabilities (treated here as an up‑front reserve).
Environmental Remediation $150K
[#23] One‑time remediation (contingent) for fuel spills, erosion mitigation and structural environmental fixes if required.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $5.5M/yr
Staff Wages $2.2M/yr
[#6] Salaries and rotation premiums for on‑site staff (Site Director, research scientists, engineers/techs, med techs, observers, guards and support staff) including high‑altitude deployment premiums.
Logistics And Transport $1.2M/yr
[#3] Regular helicopter charters, cargo lifts, medevac availability and personnel rotation flights to a high‑altitude site (weekly/biweekly cadence variable).
Facilities Maintenance $550K/yr
[#4, #5, #9, #10, #23] Ongoing power fuel & generator maintenance, HVAC/life‑support maintenance, comms testing and Faraday room upkeep, monastery structural maintenance and environmental compliance monitoring.
Research And Monitoring $550K/yr
[#8, #11, #12, #16, #21] Sensor maintenance, calibration, cryogenics running costs, data handling bandwidth/backups, and minimal archival research funding while active experimentation on SCP‑7027‑2 is on hold.
Intel Monitoring $300K/yr
[#19] Covert HUMINT, remote surveillance and occasional insertion ops to detect anomalous recruiting or GOI influence in surrounding areas.
Supplies And Consumables $250K/yr
[#13, #15, #22, #24] PPE consumables, disposable probe replenishment, food/sanitation/water treatment for remote staff, and replacement of low‑cost lost gear.
Cover Story And Legal $200K/yr
[#17, #26] Ongoing covert payments, permits renewals, local liaison retainers and legal/cover operations; also a recurring portion of risk budgeting if accounted operationally.
Personnel Health $150K/yr
[#7] High‑altitude medical screening, oxygen therapy, psych monitoring and psychiatric care, rotation recovery and altitude sickness treatments.
Cultural Liaison $120K/yr
[#18] Contracted cultural liaisons, translators, religious scholars and ethical advisors to minimize disruption to GOI‑0184 and manage non‑intervention policies.
Biohazard Testing $20K/yr
[#14] Periodic microbial testing, sterile cleaning protocols, autoclave operation and hazardous waste removal.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.5M/yr
80.0% probability / year

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges allowing a reasonable aggregation, but site remoteness, high‑altitude construction seasonality and unknown anomalous behaviours produce material uncertainty in both one‑time and recurring tails.
