Upfront capital and reserve costs are substantial (~$12.3M) driven by customized humanoid containment, specialized R&D setup, and large contingency reserves; recurring annual operations are elevated (~$6.74M/yr) driven by high-tier staffing, R&D/monitoring, and logistics/MTF readiness.

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.7M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with scheduled R&D, maintenance, and no major containment incidents; ongoing staffing and monitoring costs only.
routine operations scheduled R&D activities no breaches or major incidents
🚨 Minor Incident $7.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Localized containment failure, minor derivative release or equipment failure requiring emergency response, repairs, and limited supplemental medical interventions.
localized structural/mechanical failure small derivative emergence limited medical/addiction treatment event
🚨 Major Breach $14.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Major containment breach or coordinated GoI attack producing large-scale derivative releases, extensive damage, casualties, and legal/PR fallout requiring full reserve tapping.
full SCP-7085-A escape or uncontrolled derivative activation large coordinated GoI assault catastrophic experimental failure
👥 Personnel 19 total
Role Count Notes
Information Retrieval Specialist 6 [#5] 24/7 on-site information-retrieval staffing (2 per shift × 3 shifts = 6 senior personnel).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#6] Security guards: 2per shift × 3 shifts = 6 guards covered in security staffing estimate.
Containment Specialist / Technician 2 [#6] Two floating containment specialists (restraint/crane operators) included in security/containment staffing.
Research Scientist / Senior Analyst 5 [#7] Senior analyst/translation & classification team for emitted information (4–6; budgeted as 5).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges; midpoint selections and assumptions (frequency of moves, reserve sizing, staffing loadings) introduce moderate uncertainty. Large reserves and incident costs are deliberate conservative choices; variability in R&D tempo could move recurring costs materially.
