One-time setup
$1.2M
Annual recurring
$1.3M
Personnel
10
One-time setup and contingency funds total approximately $1.158M, driven by a secure containment quarter, equipment (sensors, vehicle, capture gear) and an escalation reserve. Recurring annual costs are approximately $1.327M, driven primarily by staff wages (monitoring, security, research), ongoing R&D/research support, incident reserves and cover/legal functions.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3M/yr
74.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; regular monitoring, research, maintenance and reserves funded as budgeted.
no_manifestation beyond routine events no third-party exposures normal staff turnover and routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.4M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Localized manifestation of SCP-7397-B or small accidental exposure causing modest property damage and limited medical treatment.
single SCP-7397-B manifestation minor property damage limited external witness requiring amnestic
🚨 Major Breach $1.7M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant containment event requiring emergency extraction, substantial medical care, equipment replacement and external remediation.
large-scale manifestation or hazardous interaction multi-person injuries or facility damage vehicle/equipment replacement and extensive amnestics
🚨 Catastrophic Escalation $2.3M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.0M vs baseline
Escalation requiring site transfer / isolation wing activation and major long-term containment changes.
anomaly becomes more dangerous or spreads loss of containment necessitating isolation wing or site transfer

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item ranges and concrete staffing commitments for many categories (medium confidence). Uncertainty remains around frequency/severity of SCP-7397-B manifestations and the likelihood/timing of large-scale escalation or successful R&D, which increases variance.
