One-time setup and a large catastrophic contingency dominate costs (~$53.3M one-time), with recurring operations (security, rapid-response, repairs, legal/cover) around $9.13M/yr; major drivers are staff wages, damage/compensation reserves, and the recommended catastrophic capital reserve.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.1M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Conservative, low-incident year with regular staffing, surveillance, routine maintenance, and reserves intact.
no major SCP events routine operations only
🚨 Medium Incident Year $14.1M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Active year with 1–3 SCP-7590 events causing medical responses, property damage, payouts, and elevated rapid-response operations.
1-3 SCP events moderate property damage multiple casualties requiring payouts
🚨 Catastrophic Failure $109.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Major containment failure or wide-area public exposure with multi-casualty event requiring catastrophic payouts and use of the capital reserve.
large-scale public exposure multi-site cascade or coordinated breach
👥 Personnel 50 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#1] 24 on-duty staff across four residences (2 per site per shift, 3 shifts/day).
Supervisor / Senior Agent 6 [#2] Senior supervisors, rotating agents and overtime reserve.
Rapid Response Team Member 12 [#3] Three regional rapid-response teams (approx. 4 personnel/team: containment tech, tactical agent, medic, hazmat tech).
Research Scientist 8 [#14] Dedicated researchers for predictive/preventive R&D (staffing implied by recurring R&D budget).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates use wide ranges from analyst notes; primary uncertainty is SCP event recurrence frequency and severity which drive damage, compensation, and catastrophic reserve utilization. Many line items scale with unknown event rates, so long-run costs are poorly constrained.
