Initial capital/setup costs are moderate-to-high depending on whether an aviary upgrade or dedicated containment suite is chosen, with baseline annual operating costs driven by part-time monitoring, ongoing veterinary care, janitorial/biocleaning, and recurring research. A low-probability unification event could produce catastrophic, extremely high costs far beyond routine budgets.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $373K
Facilities $320K
[#1, #2, #15, #20] Upper-floor physical modifications, modest aviary upgrade (~$60k chosen), ramps/low-profile furniture, and a speculative contingency for relocation/containment module (basic suite ~$250k).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $44K
[#5, #7, #8, #14] Initial veterinary diagnostics and sequencing (~$10,000), initial targeted research study (~$25,000), sample storage/cold setup (~$1,500), and prototyping for custom litter-device R&D (~$7,500).
Equipment $5K
[#3, #16] CCTV/motion-sensor hardware (~$5,000) and lightweight tracking/RFID hardware (~$300).
Containment Sop And Training Initial $3K
[#11] Development of site-specific containment SOPs and initial staff training/drills (~$3,000).
Behavioral Enrichment Initial $300
[#13] Initial purchase of enrichment supplies (treats, toys, harnesses) (~$300).
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $114K/yr
Research And Monitoring $50K/yr
[#7] Recurring research budget for follow-up testing, histology, imaging, and staff hours (~$50,000/yr).
Staff Wages $38K/yr
[#4, #17] Part-time animal monitor (0.5 FTE ≈ $25,000/yr) and supervised interaction/handler allowance (0.25 FTE ≈ $12,500/yr).
Janitorial Biocleaning $9K/yr
[#9] Extra janitorial/biocleaning for fur, feces, and spill incidents (midpoint chosen ~$9,000/yr).
Cover Story And Legal $5K/yr
[#18] Legal/cover-story/documentation maintenance and FOIA/administrative costs (midpoint ~$5,000/yr).
Repair Replacement Fund $5K/yr
[#10] Annual repair/replacement budget for accidental damage (~$5,000/yr).
Cctv Storage And Maintenance $3K/yr
[#3] Storage, maintenance, and periodic review for CCTV/motion-sensor logs (~$3,000/yr).
Supplies And Consumables $2K/yr
[#6, #8, #13] Ongoing veterinary consumables and checkups (~$1,400/yr), lab/sample consumables (~$500/yr), and behavioral consumables (~$200/yr).
Facilities Maintenance $1K/yr
[#19] Marginal HVAC/energy costs for upper-floor animal climate control (~$1,250/yr chosen midpoint).
Refresher Training And Audits $700/yr
[#12] Annual refresher training and compliance audits (~$700/yr).
Tracking Maintenance $100/yr
[#16] Ongoing maintenance/replace small recurring parts for tracking/RFID (~$100/yr).

🚨 Containment Escalation Relocation $414K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Repeated incidents, stress on avian populations, or new anomalous behaviors force construction or transfer to a dedicated containment module.

🚨 Unification Event $50.1M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Unification with another SCP-(7)529 component triggers a KOT-Class scenario with wide-ranging ecological, temporal, and infrastructural impacts requiring massive Foundation response.

👥 Personnel 0.75 total
Role Count Notes
Animal Monitor 0.5 [#4] Part-time animal monitor (0.5 FTE) responsible for supervision during working hours.
Handler / Volunteer (stipend) 0.25 [#17] Supervised interaction allowance or stipend approximating 0.25 FTE to compensate handlers and prevent misbehavior.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many routine costs (monitoring, veterinary care, janitorial, basic hardware) are well-scoped from notes, supporting medium confidence; large capital contingencies and catastrophic/unification outcomes are highly speculative, increasing uncertainty in long-tail expected costs.
