SCP-7661 Euclid ~ medium confidence
SCP-7661
Expected annual
$2.9M
One-time setup
$6.2M
Annual recurring
$2.5M
Personnel
19
Initial one-time setup ranges from mid-six-figure to multi-million depending on planned cell expansion; largest one-time drivers are initial cell buildout and optional scaling capital. Recurring annual costs are dominated by dedicated security and research staff, predictive monitoring, contingency reserve, and per-instance containment costs if new SCP-7661-A instances are created.

Scaling Additional Cells Capex $5.0M
[#26] Capital projection for large-scale expansion (example: 50additional humanoid cells × ~$100k each).
Humanoid Cells Initial $600K
[#2] Construction/retrofit of 6 standard humanoid containment cells with CCTV, furniture, and medical access.
Vehicle Containment Garage $250K
[#1] Hardened monitored garage build-out (reinforced bay, secure door, HVAC, UPS, sensors) — one-time construction and hardware.
Predictive Analytics Initial $150K
[#8] Initial ML model development, data engineering, tooling and integration for predictive collision monitoring.
Research Lab Equipment $100K
[#11] Lab bench equipment for genetic testing, imaging access, interrogation apparatus, and analysis computers.
Transport Vehicle Purchase $30K
[#18] Purchase of dedicated armored/secure response vehicle(s).
Cctv Sensors Purchase $25K
[#5] High-resolution cameras, vehicle sensors (seat/occupancy, CO2, thermal), alarms, integration into SOC.
Secure Data Initial $15K
[#22] Secure servers, encrypted backups, air-gapped storage and initial hardening.
Biohazard Initial Kit $10K
[#25] Initial biohazard/decontamination kit and startup disposables.
Equipment $0

[#27] Operations reserve (~20% of operating budget) for unexpected incidents, rapid hiring, or emergency field ops.
Research And Monitoring $250K/yr
[#7, #9] Predictive collision monitoring subscriptions/feeds and predictive analytics maintenance/retraining.
Cover Story And Legal $100K/yr
[#17, #30] Legal/cover-up retainer and baseline budget for case interventions; episodic large-scale PR/response costs tracked separately.
Supplies And Consumables $55K/yr
[#12, #25] Research consumables (sequencing kits, imaging fees, cognitive testing) and ongoing biohazard disposal/waste removal.
Facilities Maintenance $50K/yr
[#6, #19, #18, #23] CCTV/sensor maintenance, data retention/storage redundancy, garage HVAC/utilities, vehicle upkeep and secure-data maintenance costs.
Mental Health Services $50K/yr
[#21] Psych services and debriefing for staff and detained subjects.
Archive And Audit $25K/yr
[#29] Long-term archive retention, periodic audits, legal reviews, and compliance costs.
Training And Ppe $10K/yr
[#24] Annual training, certification, and PPE replacement for response teams.

[#14, #18] Routine on-site transport upkeep and small logistics/fuel budget; per-incident transfer gear costs are handled as per-instance items.
Vehicle Maintenance Scp 7661 $2K/yr
[#20] Routine maintenance for SCP-7661 (battery keepers, periodic engine runs, fluids, corrosion prevention).
Per Instance Medical Testing $0/yr
[#13] Per-instance medical intake and forensic testing (~$5,000 per new SCP-7661-A). Cost treated as marginal per-new-instance in scenarios.
Per Instance Immediate Handling Gear $0/yr
[#14] Per-incident immediate handling supplies (restraints, stretcher, sedatives, PPE) — ~$500 per incident; treated as marginal in scenarios.
Per Instance Housing Basic $0/yr
[#15] Per-detainee basic housing & care (meals, laundry, utilities) estimated ~$3,000/yr per detainee; modeled in per-instance scenarios.
Per Instance Containment Overhead $0/yr
[#16] Dominant per-detainee containment cost (~$100,000/yr per SCP-7661-A) — excluded from fixed baseline and applied in case-volume scenarios.
Legal Per Incident Average $0/yr
[#17, #30] Average per-incident legal/cover cost (~$25k per incident) and episodic PR response (~$150k avg major incident) — applied in scenarios.
Marginal Per New Instance Note $0/yr
[#28] Analyst projection: marginal recurring per-new-instance cost ≈ $130,000 (containment/security) + $5,000 (testing) + $25,000 (cover/legal) = ~$130k–$160k; applied in case-volume scenarios.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.5M/yr
78.0% probability / year
Annual fixed operating year excluding marginal per-new-instance containment costs (normal staffing, monitoring, maintenance, legal retainer, contingency).

🚨 High Case Volume $5.8M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$3.2M vs baseline
High creation rate / sustained regional/global spike requiring mass expansion of containment capacity and staffing.

🚨 Major Public Exposure $2.7M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
A public leak/high-visibility duplicate sighting triggers large Foundation PR/legal response in addition to normal operations.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#3, #4] Combined 24/7 guard coverage: ~6 FTE for vehicle bay and ~6 FTE for humanoid containment (shift coverage).
Research Scientist 3 [#10] SCP researchers to interrogate and study SCP-7661-A instances.

📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item estimates are detailed and rooted in standard Foundation cost categories (construction, staffing, monitoring). Major uncertainties remain around the creation rate of SCP-7661-A and jurisdiction-dependent legal/cover costs, so medium confidence is appropriate.
