Estimated one-time setup and capital expenditures are approximately $18.7M driven by remote sterile sites, a reinforced hangar, heavy-recovery equipment and a large contingency reserve; ongoing annual operations are approximately $7.29M/year driven primarily by staff wages, rapid-response readiness, proxy/IP infrastructure and legal/compensation costs.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $7.3M/yr
35.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major incidents requiring large-scale emergency fund draws or heavy external lift.
no major civilian-winning incidents standard account churn and monitoring only
🚨 Minor Incident $7.5M/yr
60.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
One or several localized SCP-7692-2 appearances causing property damage and limited injuries requiring rapid-response deployment, medical care, compensation and limited contracted lift.
single civilian winner(s) with property damage local MTF deployment and compensation payouts
🚨 Major Incident $9.3M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
A significant event requiring large-scale heavy-lift contracts, extended recovery operations, major compensation, contractor hires and partial draw on contingency funds.
large or hazardous SCP-7692-2 recovery multiple injured civilians or public exposure
👥 Personnel 30 total
Role Count Notes
Research Analyst / Stream Monitor 9 [#7] 24/7 monitoring staff performing stream detection, timestamping and logging (3 shifts × 3 analysts).
MTF / Rapid-response Specialist 9 [#8] Rapid-response retrieval/mitigation specialists (on-call readiness for physical removals and rescues).
Research Scientist / Technician 6 [#12] Laboratory scientists and technicians for materials/propulsion/memetic forensics and ongoing testing.
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#18] On-site security staff for hangars, sterile sites and critical infrastructure.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based directly on analyst line-item ranges; confidence is medium because many costs scale strongly with uncertain operational choices (number of sterile sites/accounts) and incident frequency/severity, and ranges in the source are wide.
