SCP-7433
Expected annual
$273K
One-time setup
$308K
Annual recurring
$260K
Personnel
3
One-time setup and archival/digitization costs are modest (~$308k total); main ongoing costs are personnel (disinformation/archival) and an emergency reserve. If the subject is located, retrieval and containment are the dominant cost drivers (large one-time conversion + high recurring security staffing).

⚡ Cost Scenarios

93.0% probability / year
Normal archival/disinformation posture; no subject located or containment required.
no subject located routine archival maintenance and disinformation operations
🚨 Minor Incident $309K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$49K vs baseline
Suspected location identified; limited retrieval operation and targeted media/legal activity, but no long-term on-site containment.
subject sighting or credible lead short retrieval operation targeted legal/disinfo response
🚨 Full Containment $786K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$526K vs baseline
Subject located and held on-site as Euclid: includes one-time conversion of secure holding and full-time containment staffing and care.
subject found and requires on-site detention continuous guarding and medical/psychological care

Role Count Notes
Archivist 1 [#1, #2, #3] Responsible for transfer, accessioning, digitization oversight, and archival maintenance.
Disinformation Specialist 1 [#5] 0.5 FTE-equivalent budgeted; performs continuous monitoring, content creation, and coordination with local historian networks.
Administrative Staff 1 [#19, #6] Part-time administrative/supervisory support and FOIA/legal coordination (0.2 FTE-equivalent budgeted).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and conditional: SCP-7433's status is uncertain and many costs are contingent on locating the subject. Ranges in the analyst notes and scalable single-event costs (litigation, exposure) contribute to low confidence.
