Expected annual
$160K
One-time setup
$1.5M
Annual recurring
$130K
Personnel
0.5
Estimated one-time capital and R&D costs are ~ $1.55M driven primarily by research/countermeasure R&D and contingency for scaling containment; baseline annual operating costs are ~ $130k/yr driven by security monitoring, consumables, training, and reserves.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $1.5M
Countermeasure Development $600K
[#11] Contingency estimate for R&D toward pharmacological/memetic countermeasures or antidotes (one-time R&D capital).
Scaling Contingency $550K

Initial Research And Lab Setup $342K
[#10, #12] Initial neurological/behavioral research program pilot/full program and initial laboratory assay/testing instrumentation/services.
Facilities $28K
[#1, #13, #15] Locker upgrade (inner canister/install), sample archive duplication and vault rental, and quarantine/observation room outfitting (one-time capital).
Equipment $17K

Administrative Overhead $8K/yr
[#23] Procurement, personnel vetting/clearances, HR and finance processing allocated to SCP-7750.
Replacement Reserve $5K/yr
[#20] Annual contingency for replacement/repair after sabotage/theft/incident (lower-bound allocation).
Logistics And Transport $3K/yr
[#14] Typical per-transfer secure transport costs (estimated 1 average internal/armored transfer per year).
Psychiatric Contingency Per Exposure $0/yr
[#9] Per-exposure psychiatric/counseling contingency (~$50,000 per moderate exposure). Set to 0 in baseline; applied in incident scenarios.
Amnestic Agent Per Use $0/yr
[#18] Per-administration cost for amnestic agents (~$500–2,000 per administration). Set to 0 in baseline; applied in incident scenarios.
Legal Indemnity Reserve $0/yr
[#19] Insurance/indemnity contingency ($25k–$250k) — not funded in baseline; retained as a scenario contingency.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $130K/yr
92.0% probability / year
Uneventful year with routine operations and no exposures; reserves modestly funded.

🚨 Minor Incident $226K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$96K vs baseline
Single internal exposure requiring medical/psychiatric care, investigation, and limited PR/legal work.
single_exposure limited_medical_response internal_investigation
🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.8M vs baseline
Multiple exposures or public incident with propagation requiring large-scale medical, legal, containment scaling and R&D acceleration.

🚨 Research Scale Up $530K/yr
2.0% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Decision to pursue large-scale research and countermeasure development requiring significant annual R&D funding.

👥 Personnel 0.5 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 0.5 [#3] Incremental 24/7 active monitoring equivalent (~0.5 FTE) budgeted as staff_wages; other site staff assumed covered by Site-50 baseline.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have wide ranges (medical/psychiatric outcomes, R&D scope, legal settlements, and contingency reserves). One-time capital and specified R&D are fairly well scoped, but incident-driven costs carry high uncertainty, producing a medium confidence rating.
