One-time setup
$1.9M
Annual recurring
$2.6M
Personnel
11
One-time capital of approximately $1.88M for containment infrastructure and contingency; dominant recurring costs (~$2.6M/yr baseline) are personnel (security, emergency/HazMat, cleaning), research/investigation, D‑Class program support, and per-instance processing.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.9M
Contingency Reserve $1.2M
[#24] Insurance/incident contingency reserve (one-time allocation) midpoint of $500k–$2,000k to allow mobilization for large incidents.
Facilities $325K
[#2] Containment/handling room buildout (ballistic backstop, negative-pressure HEPA ventilation, stainless surfaces, evidence lighting) estimated mid-range of $150k–$500k.
Equipment $286K
[#1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #15, #28, #29] High-value safe-class locker ($125,000 midpoint), access control hardware ($25,000 midpoint) + initial integration ($3,500 midpoint), CCTV hardware ($10,000 midpoint), backup power/UPS ($17,500 midpoint), specialized weapon safing/electronics ($12,500 midpoint), cold-storage/freezer hardware ($15,000 midpoint), secure transport vehicle purchase ($75,000 midpoint), media-grade evidence kit ($3,000 midpoint).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $21K
[#12, #10] On-site autoclave ($20,000 midpoint) and initial PPE handler kits ($1,000 midpoint).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $2.6M/yr
Research And Monitoring $1.0M/yr
[#14, #30, #22, #27] Forensic pathology/genetic analysis and sequencing budget (~$110,000 midpoint), long-term research program budget (~$625,000 midpoint), investigation into GoI-6127 / field ops (~$275,000 midpoint), record preservation/archival costs (~$2,750 midpoint).
Staff Wages $559K/yr
[#11, #17, #18] Security personnel (6 guards w/benefits ~$350,000/yr), emergency response / tactical HazMat team upkeep and training (~$162,500/yr midpoint), daily cleaning/decontamination labor (~$46,500/yr midpoint).
D Class Program Support $550K/yr
[#9] D-Class program operational support (processing, housing, supervision, drug regimens, and program overhead) midpoint of $100k–$1,000k/yr.
Per Instance Processing $150K/yr
[#8] Per-instance processing for SCP-7216-1 (medical screening, psych eval, provisional ID, initial housing/documentation). Assumed baseline production ~12 instances/yr × $12,500 midpoint = $150,000/yr (usage assumption documented here).

Humanoid Containment Transfer Amortization $0/yr
[#16] Per-incident transfer & immediate containment costs ($20k–$150k) and potential long-term housing ($200k–$1,000k+/yr) are contingency-driven and not included in baseline recurring; modeled separately in adverse scenarios.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with routine usage to support D-Class enrollment, scheduled research, and no major containment incidents.

🚨 Minor Incident $2.8M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small unauthorized discharge or containment incident that requires emergency response, short-term transfers, extra medical/forensic processing and legal paperwork.

🚨 Primary Fire Incident $3.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.1M vs baseline
Unauthorized use of primary-fire resulting in production of primary-fired SCP-7216-1 requiring immediate transfer and possible long-term humanoid containment plus legal/PR fallout.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#18] Continuous physical protection, escorts during removals; estimate follows note: 6guards with benefits ≈ $350,000/yr.
Tactical / HazMat Specialist 3 [#17] On-call emergency response / tactical HazMat readiness team; upkeep/training budget (~$162,500/yr) mapped to ~3 specialists.
Custodial / Decontamination Staff 2 [#11] Daily cleaning and decontamination labor estimated ~$46,500/yr midpoint, mapped to ~2 FTE custodial/decon staff.
📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges in analyst notes are wide and many costs depend on unknown operational tempo (frequency of secondary-fire use) and the low-probability but high-cost primary-fire events; midpoints and a baseline usage assumption (12 creations/yr) were used, producing low confidence in the point estimates.
