SCP-7589
Expected annual
$1.2M
One-time setup
$1.7M
Annual recurring
$1.2M
Personnel
11
One-time setup costs (construction, thaumaturgic device R&D, soil procurement and vehicle) total approximately $1.73M, while recurring annual operations (staff wages, blood supply, maintenance, overhead) run about $1.19M/yr; main drivers are personnel wages and the uncertain thaumaturgic device costs and contingency reserve.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.2M/yr
92.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, no major incidents.
routine containment scheduled device maintenance normal staffing and supply usage
🚨 Minor Incident $1.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Small containment incident resulting in localized repairs, overtime, increased medical treatment and temporary operational disruptions.
brief breach/subdual event equipment repair overtime and temporary relocation of activities
🚨 Device Failure $1.5M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline
Failure/degradation of the thaumaturgic device requiring expedited replacement, intensive R&D, rare reagents or purchase of spare unit.
device breakdown rare reagent shortage expedited replacement/fabrication
🚨 Major Breach $2.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Large containment breach with extensive damage, emergency relocation, public cover operations, legal exposure and major rebuild.
full containment failure public exposure or large-scale facility damage activation of contingency/reserve
👥 Personnel 11 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#1] Six guards to cover 24/7 containment (2 per shift × 3 shifts).
Security Supervisor 1 [#1] One shift supervisor to oversee guard shifts.
Research Scientist (Xenobiologist) 1 [#2] Xenobiologist assigned to SCP research and device testing.
Medical Officer 1 [#2] Medic/EMT for on-site medical needs and blood handling.
Psychologist 1 [#2] Psychologist for sapient containment protocols and rehabilitation.
Engineer / Maintenance / Containment Technician 1 [#2] Containment technician responsible for chamber upkeep and equipment maintenance.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items (staffing, blood supply, chamber construction) are well-specified, but the thaumaturgic device (initial and recurring) and political/legal complexity of soil procurement are highly uncertain, producing medium overall confidence.
