SCP-7275

Expected annual

$2.3M

One-time setup

$2.3M

Annual recurring

$2.2M

Personnel

Initial one-time setup is approximately $2.33M driven primarily by contingency reserves, specialized R&D and lab/setup costs, and equipment/containment construction. Annual operating costs are roughly $2.23M/yr driven by security staffing, a tactical response team, ongoing research, legal/cover operations and contingency replenishment.

📋 Confidence Notes

Line-item estimates were provided in analyst notes with reasonable specificity, but several anomalous-driven costs (thaumaturgical research, contingency requirements, per-unit counts for bespoke gear) are uncertain; contingency figures are conservative, so overall confidence is medium.
