SCP-7480
Expected annual
$326K
One-time setup
$276K
Annual recurring
$320K
Personnel
2
Initial one-time setup is moderate (~$276k) driven by construction/modifications, equipment (sensors, emergency kit), research lab setup, and an escalation reserve; annual recurring costs are ~ $320k driven primarily by staff wages, ongoing research, site overhead, and emergency readiness.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $320K/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine operations, no escapes or legal incidents.
no incidents routine research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $395K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$75K vs baseline
Small off-site/short-range teleport escape or unauthorized movement requiring recovery and limited legal/medical follow-up.
short-range escape localized contamination or minor injury targeted recovery operation
🚨 Major Breach $670K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or aggressive use of teleportation resulting in extended recovery, R&D escalation, and legal exposure.
aggressive/off-site teleportation multiple personnel exposures or public sighting extended recovery and legal escalation
👥 Personnel 2 total
Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Handler 1 One assigned researcher/handler (0.2–0.5 FTE reported) responsible for Contract-7480 interactions, monitoring, and experiments. (Wages included in staff_wages.)
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 One FTE-equivalent marginal security allocation for guard coverage/lockdown readiness; site rotation provides broader 24/7 coverage (marginal cost included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are relatively detailed and allow sensible line-item estimates, but uncertainty remains around SCP-7480's teleportation behavior, the needed long-term research scope, and potential legal/exposure costs, so estimates carry moderate uncertainty.
