SCP-7212

Expected annual

$2.7M

One-time setup

$2.0M

Annual recurring

$2.7M

Personnel

Estimated one-time capital costs are approximately $2.03M driven by cold-room construction, monitoring hardware, civil mitigation and disposal setup; recurring annual costs are approximately $2.70M/yr driven mainly by security staffing, MTF readiness, research staff and administrative overhead.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.7M/yr

88.0% probability / year

Normal, uneventful year with routine monitoring, maintenance, staffing and planned consumables with no major incidents.

no_breach routine_monitoring scheduled_maintenance

🚨 Minor Incident $2.9M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline

Localized containment event or limited SCP-7212-A disturbance requiring MTF response, short-term heavy-equipment use, increased amnestic/PR activity and repair.

🚨 Major Breach $3.9M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline

Significant multi-unit movement/collapse or large-scale public exposure requiring extended MTF operations, mass removal/disposal, legal exposure costs and major site repairs.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are medium confidence: line-item ranges are well-identified but many items (land acquisition, MTF posture, and disposal scale) vary widely by site and scenario, producing substantial uncertainty in totals.
