One-time setup
$36.4M
Annual recurring
$4.1M
Personnel
24
Initial one-time setup is capital-intensive (primarily construction, property buyouts and contingency reserves) totaling tens of millions; recurring annual costs are dominated by staff wages, emergency/logistics readiness, and ongoing research/monitoring (roughly $4.14M/yr). Major cost drivers: property buyouts/legal, contingency reserve, facility construction, specialized robotics/sensors, and specialized personnel (thaumaturge/research/security).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $36.4M
Property Buyouts $10.0M
[#6] Land acquisition/occupant buyouts, legal fees and settlement funds for small village (20–50 properties).
Contingency Reserve $10.0M
[#23] Recommended reserve for catastrophic response, large-scale evacuation, military contracting or thaumaturge succession failures (set-aside).
Facilities $6.8M
[#1, #2] Construction of subterranean Outpost ENOCHOS-01 plus structural stabilization, shoring, heavy-lift rigs and vibration isolation.
Decommissioning $5.5M
[#24] Planning and reserve for potential long-term disposition: demolition, environmental remediation and legal wind-down.
Equipment $2.5M
[#8, #14, #15, #13, #22] Surveillance suite, secure communications setup, advanced robotics/remote manipulators, backup power install, and initial vehicle purchases.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $525K
[#9] Department of Spectral Phenomena on-site lab buildout, controlled ritual chamber, Faraday/isolation rooms and specialized detectors/chillers.
On Site Housing One Time $350K
[#18] Build or lease dormitory/canteen fitout for on-site staff (initial build/fitout costs).
Perimeter Security Infrastructure $275K
[#3] Chain-link fencing with anti-climb measures, guard towers/kiosks, lighting, barrier gates and site-side security infrastructure (includes armored/insulated utility vehicle purchases noted here).
Airspace Restriction One Time $200K
[#5] Drone fleet purchase for aerial patrol / airspace enforcement (drone approach startup cost).
Cover Story Startup $150K
[#7] Startup costs for fabricated remediation team props, vehicles and staging for cover operations.
Pr Crisis Fund $100K
[#19] One-time crisis fund for immediate media/PR emergency payments and legal hold.

🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $4.1M/yr
Staff Wages $1.8M/yr
[#4, #10, #16] Security staff (24/7, 12–15 personnel), thaumaturge stipend + apprentice training, and research personnel payroll.
Logistics And Transport $685K/yr
[#12, #5, #22] Emergency response contracts (hazmat/ambulance/drills), ongoing airspace enforcement operations (drone patrol ops), and vehicle operation/maintenance/fuel.
Research And Monitoring $625K/yr
[#8, #9, #15, #20] Sensor maintenance and data processing, lab operations & supplies, robotics maintenance for remote operations, and historical/archival research.
Cover Story And Legal $625K/yr
[#7, #19, #6] Ongoing cover-story staffing/PR, media monitoring/leak suppression, and recurring legal/administrative costs (separate from one-time buyouts).
Facilities Maintenance $315K/yr
[#3, #13, #14, #18] Perimeter/site maintenance, backup power fuel & maintenance, secure communications operations, and on-site housing running costs.

[#11, #21] Ritual consumables, reagents, PPE, cleaning supplies and routine lab/office consumables.
Personnel Vetting $45K/yr
[#17] Ongoing background checks, polygraphs, psychological evaluations and routine medical surveillance.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.1M/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, research, and cover operations.
no breach routine maintenance and staffing normal research cadence
🚨 Minor Incident $4.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency response, short-term increased PR/legal activity, and equipment repairs.
localized containment breach sensor anomaly escalation small-scale evacuation/medical response
🚨 Major Breach $19.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Major containment failure or thaumaturge succession failure causing large-scale emergency response, contingency reserve drawdown, potential military contracting and extensive PR/legal costs.
thaumaturge succession failure widespread anomalous activation mass casualty or village-scale evacuation
👥 Personnel 24 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 15 [#4] 24/7 coverage estimated at ~12–15 personnel to cover three shifts plus relief and supervisors; 15 used for staffing plan.
Research Scientist 3 [#16] Spectral researchers and forensic/spectral specialists included in research payroll.
Technician / Lab Technician 3 [#16] Technical staff supporting lab operations, sensors and robotics.
Thaumaturge (senior) 1 [#10] Designated senior thaumaturge position (high-risk stipend/contract).
Thaumaturge apprentice / trainee 2 [#10] Apprentice/training positions and succession program support.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many analyst figures are broad ranges and depend heavily on local property market, chosen enforcement posture, and scale of contingency reserves; thaumaturge-related costs and contingency sizing are highly uncertain, so overall confidence is low.
