SCP-7054 Euclid ~ medium confidence
SCP-7054
Expected annual
$7.1M
One-time setup
$5.8M
Annual recurring
$7.0M
Personnel
36
Estimated one-time startup capital is approximately $5.82M (vehicles, lab upgrades, anomalous access, contingency). Recurring annual costs are approximately $6.95M/year, driven primarily by monitoring and MTF personnel, legal/PR/cover operations, per-incident response, and ongoing research/monitoring.

Cover Story And Legal $540K/yr
[#7, #24] Retainers for PR/legal and local coordination (~$200k/yr mid), per-event cover/legal ops averaged across expected events (~$40k/yr), plus archive/cleanup/amnestic administration and record maintenance (~$300k mid) combined to ~$540k/yr.
Logistics And Transport $400K/yr
[#19] Annual travel, lodging, rapid cargo shipping and per-deployment logistics budget for multiple international manifestations (~$200–600k/yr; midpoint $400k).
Per Incident Response $384K/yr
[#5, #6, #8, #11, #17] Annualized per-manifestation costs (assumed ~4 manifestations/yr based on history): perimeter/evacuation logistics (#5 ~$20k/event), civilian compensation/venue payments (#6 ~$15k/event), media/ad interdiction per-campaign (#8 ~$25k/event), secure retrieval courier/escort (#11 ~$6k/event), evidence removal/scene repair (#17 ~$30k/event) -> sum ~$96k/event -> ~$384k/yr.

Opportunity Costs $0/yr
[#25] Intangible/strategic opportunity costs (reputation, diplomatic exposure, diverted resources) are acknowledged but not directly budgeted here; unquantified.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.0M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal year with ongoing monitoring, MTF readiness, research, and expected manifestations (~4/yr) handled via per-incident response budgets.
regular manifestations no major escalations ongoing revenue-disruption campaigns
🚨 Minor Incident $7.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
A year with a notable incident causing legal suits, a handful of severe exposures, and extra PR/medical costs.
severe exposure cases localized lawsuits heightened media attention
🚨 Major Breach $8.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
SCP-7054-2 (the automaton) or other anomalous entities follow the site into baseline reality, requiring large containment response and infrastructure repairs.
physical escalation by SCP-7054-2 property damage requiring reconstruction major containment mobilization
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $12.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Large-scale failure attracting multiple dangerous anomalies, requiring emergency ordinance, air support, mass evacuations, and use of contingency reserve.
mass anomalous attraction multi-site simultaneous manifestations containment system collapse

Role Count Notes
Monitoring Analyst / SOC 10 [#1] 2 senior analysts, 6 analysts, 2 ops/IT for 24/7 monitoring and alerts.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 20 [#3] Dedicated 24/7 rapid-response MTF-Lambda-14 cadre (~20 personnel).
Research Scientist 4 [#18] Specialized memetics/thaumaturgy/xenopsychology researchers (3–5; midpoint 4).

📋 Confidence Notes
Line items for personnel, vehicles, lab upgrades, and recurring hosting are reasonably well-specified; uncertainties remain around anomalous-media access costs (#10), feasibility and scale of ad-market interdiction, true annual manifestation frequency, and tail-risk events (breaches). Estimates use midpoints where ranges were provided and observed manifestation history (four events in the record) to annualize per-incident costs.
