SCP-7220

Expected annual

$16.3M

One-time setup

$1.1B

Annual recurring

$12.1M

Personnel

One-time capital requirements (dominated by an optional capitol reconstruction) are on the order of ~$1.12B; baseline recurring operations including security, medical, research, memetic/IT defenses and contingency reserve run ~ $12.1M/yr. The reconstruction project (if pursued) is the dominant uncertain cost driver.

📋 Confidence Notes

Large ranges in analyst estimates (especially for capitol reconstruction and legal/media suppression), infohazard uncertainties, and conditional multi-year capital projects produce low confidence in point estimates.
