One-time setup
$6.1M
Annual recurring
$6.0M
Personnel
9
Initial one-time investments are dominated by JARRY development and related secure infrastructure (~$6.1M), while recurring annual costs (~$6.0M/yr) are driven by anti-memetics R&D, surveillance operations, contingency reserves, and false-positive personnel costs.

[#20] Annual maintenance of WORM storage and witnessed ledgers.
Facilities Maintenance $0/yr
[]
Continuous Discreet Surveillance Human Tail $0/yr
[#6] Human-tail model cost (4 FTE per subject) not used in baseline; per-subject cost would be ~$300k–$400k/yr if employed.
Detainee Operation $0/yr
[#9] Operating cost per detained SCP-7551-B instance; baseline assumes no active detentions in routine year (costs reserved in contingency scenarios).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.0M/yr
81.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with quarterly JARRY scans, remote surveillance of flagged subjects, routine R&D and contingency reserve intact.
quarterly scans remote surveillance no major exposures or mass detentions
🚨 Minor Incident $6.8M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Elevated flag rate and a small cluster of concerning matches requiring extra surveillance, increased false-positive administrative costs, and a few MTF activations.
flag surge multiple false positives small MTF activations
🚨 Major Convergence $10.0M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
One or more SCP-7551-B instances initiate a Convergence Scenario leading to arrests/detentions, multiple MTF deployments, heavy legal/medical costs and large contingency drawdown.
Convergence initiation mass detentions large-scale MTF operations
🚨 Political Exposure $7.5M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Public exposure or media-linked incident requiring emergency media management, legal defenses, rapid amnestic administration campaigns and extensive cover-up operations.
public leak high-profile media attention legal suits

Role Count Notes
Human Review Analyst 3 [#5] Trained anti-memetics analysts to sanity-check JARRY flags (baseline ~3 FTE funded in staff_wages).
Surveillance Observer / Analyst 6 [#6] Aggregate 0.25 FTE per flagged subject for ~25 subjects (remote monitoring review workload embedded in surveillance recurring costs).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium-confidence: the analyst notes provide ranges for every major item but key drivers (flag rate, choice of surveillance model, anti-memetics program scale, contingency appetite) are uncertain. Assumptions: medium-sized organization (~5,000 staff), baseline flag rate ~0.5% (~25 flagged subjects), remote surveillance model used for baseline. Individual line items may vary ±2× depending on procurement standards and operational choices.
