SCP-7035
Expected annual
$124.4M
One-time setup
$1.6B
Annual recurring
$94.2M
Personnel
165
Baseline recurring operations are ~ $94M/year driven by persistent ISR, Site-43 staffing, and monitoring/research; one-time contingency and infrastructure costs (hardening, contingency reserves, potential large-scale cover-ups/rebuilds) drive multi‑hundred‑million to billion-dollar capital requirements.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.6B
Replacement Of Sites $550.0M
[#19] Rebuilding lost Foundation sites (estimated for replacement of multiple destroyed nearby sites; aggregated per-note midpoint × assumed sites).
Large Scale Cover Up One Time $525.0M
[#18] One-time infrastructure buyouts, demolitions, relocations and population-management capital if mass cover-up is enacted (optional; midpoint of very wide range).
Decommissioning Perimeter Engineering $255.0M
[#27] Heavy civil engineering options to limit Nx-84 expansion (dams, barriers, remote demolition) - highly variable, midpoint used here.
Insurance And Legal Reserves $102.5M
[#22] Reserved indemnities, hush payments, and legal contingency funds against public exposure or litigation (midpoint).
Facilities $77.5M
[#5, #13] Site-43 structural hardening and construction of quarantine/containment suites; includes EMP protection, redundant generators, secure ops rooms and modular quarantine buildout (midpoint estimates).
Emergency Contingency Fund $27.5M
[#12] Liquid rapid-response reserve for unplanned expansions, medevac, quarantine, contractors, and sheltering (midpoint of reserve range).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $16.1M
[#9, #26] Specialized Ways research lab buildout (optical benches, high-speed imaging, secure specimen rooms) and initial monitoring/logging instrumentation/protocol development (midpoint).
Salvage And Remediation $10.5M
[#21] Salvage, environmental remediation, and forensic investigations of destroyed sites (midpoint).
Equipment $10.1M
[#3, #7, #8, #11] Hardened ground comms & telemetry hardware, remote sensor field-deploy installs, targeted mirror-monitoring initial installs, and secure servers/analytics hardware (aggregated midpoint).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $94.2M/yr
Cover Story And Legal $26.0M/yr
[#17] Ongoing legal, cover, information-ops, PR/disinformation, front companies and litigation management (midpoint).
Staff Wages $19.0M/yr
[#6] Salaries and benefits for on-site leadership, analysts, operators, security, maintenance, and admin to run 24/7 monitoring (midpoint of provided range).
Logistics And Transport $15.5M/yr
[#1, #16] Persistent aerial reconnaissance (long-endurance drones + manned ISR sorties) and Agent-7993 covert operational support/allowance for field operations (aggregated).
Research And Monitoring $13.4M/yr
[#2, #8, #10, #11, #26] Commercial & taskable satellite imagery fees, mirror-targeted monitoring program ops, research staffing & experiments, ML/model ops and monitoring logging operations (aggregated midpoint).
Contractors And Vendors $10.5M/yr
[#20] Private security, aerospace contractors, satellite providers, and vendor retainers on annual budgets (midpoint).
Supplies And Consumables $5.1M/yr
[#7, #14, #15, #25, #28] Field sensor maintenance and rotations, quarantine/medical operations running costs, PPE/consumables/spares, staff medical/psych support & vetting, and miscellaneous contingency overhead (aggregated).
Long Term Archival $3.0M/yr
[#23] Ongoing archival suppression, legal erasure operations, and upkeep of black budgets/historical narrative management (aggregated).
Facilities Maintenance $1.6M/yr
[#4, #24] Comms/bandwidth operating costs, leased links and satellite airtime, plus energy & utilities for Site-43 and sensor farms (aggregated midpoint).
Large Scale Cover Up Recurring $0/yr
[#18] Recurring social-engineering costs if a large-scale cover-up is enacted. This is optional/contingent and is excluded from baseline recurring until enacted.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $94.2M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with continuous remote monitoring, research, and routine maintenance without major incidents or large-scale cover-up actions.

🚨 Minor Incident $109.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Localized events requiring emergency response: temporary Nx-84 expansion, sensor network failure, small civilian incursions, or targeted remediation.

🚨 Large Scale Cover Up Enacted $669.2M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$575.0M vs baseline
Full-scale population management and cover-up is authorized/required (mass relocation, demolitions, economic mitigation) with immediate capital and elevated recurring social-engineering costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Wide ranges and many optional/contingent, high-variability line items (population-level cover-ups, site rebuilds, Nx-84 engineering) produce low confidence; analyst notes provide ranges but missing precise scope (number of sites rebuilt, scale of cover-up), so estimates are midpoint-based and uncertain.
