SCP-7103
Expected annual
$1.5M
One-time setup
$1.3M
Annual recurring
$1.5M
Personnel
12
Initial one-time setup is estimated at $1,298,000 driven by containment construction, robotics/observation equipment, and legal/insurance seed funds. Ongoing annual costs are approximately $1,504,000/yr driven primarily by staff wages, ongoing research/monitoring, incident-readiness, and cover-story/legal maintenance.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.5M/yr
89.5% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, monitoring, scheduled research, and no containment incidents.
no_incident routine_research scheduled_maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.6M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring limited response: repairs, overtime, short-term data forensics and legal eyebrow-smoothing.
sensor_failures local_hardware_damage small containment breach quickly contained
🚨 Major Breach $2.0M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Significant breach or mobility event requiring full mobile containment deployment, major repairs, replacement of robotics, extended overtime, and substantial legal/cover costs.
anomalous_locomotion_escape extended_response_needed equipment_replacement
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $6.5M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Severe uncontrolled exposure or multi-site contamination requiring large-scale reconstruction, public mitigation, legal settlement, and potentially prolonged research/containment scaling.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are medium-confidence: many hardware and staffing items are well-described, but broad ranges for containment-upgrade contingencies, breach probabilities, and legal/cover expenses introduce uncertainty. Estimates use mid-to-conservative selections from provided ranges.
