One-time construction and hardening of a purpose-built 1-hectare blast/ballistic containment facility (~$103M) is the dominant upfront cost; recurring costs (~$16.28M/year) are driven by high-skill personnel, active special-operations/manhunt budgets, capital replacement reserves and monthly event cleanup.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of broad ranges provided in analyst notes; SCP contains anomalous, open-ended risks (teleportation/void effects) and international operations which create substantial uncertainty and potential for costs beyond listed ranges.
