Initial setup is moderate (~$312,000) driven by cell construction, telemetry, transport equipment and initial research; recurring annual costs are driven by personnel (guards, containment specialist, designated handler) plus site overhead and contingency, totaling about $812,475/yr.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $312K
Facilities $150K
[#1, #2, #12] Build/modify humanoid containment cell adjacent to archival wing, create buffer/exclusion zoning and reserve/construct nearest-person prevention rooms (doors, airlocks, observation window, anti-tamper locks, environmental routing). Estimate reflects mid-range of provided ranges and consolidation of related physical work.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $65K
[#14, #9] Initial laboratory analysis (CT, histology, materials) and consumables plus initial candidate program setup costs for Protocol Aubain-7822. Includes initial study instrumentation/time and program setup (~$10k).
Decommissioning And Reassignment $50K
[#25] One-time retirement/reassignment/decommissioning budget for possible future decommissioning or reclassification (archive work, retraining/compensation).
Equipment $47K
[#3, #4, #13] Redundant UPS/generator tie-in and environmental control upgrades, encrypted surveillance/telemetry/telecom devices and secure logging server, plus specialized padded/lockable transport container and vehicle modifications. Sum of midpoints from ranges.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $812K/yr
Staff Wages $460K/yr
[#6, #7] Salaries and hazard/retainer pay for SCP-7822-1 (designated handler) and permanent containment staff: 6guards (~$45k/yr each) and 1 containment specialist (~$90k/yr). SCP-7822-1 compensation included here (midpoint estimate).
Contingency Reserve $106K/yr
[#23] Contingency reserve set to 15% of baseline operating subtotal to cover unforeseen events (within recommended 10-20%).
Opportunity Cost Overhead $62K/yr
[#20] Annual archival-space overhead allocation (climate control share, utility & facility burden) representing opportunity cost of assigning archival wing space to containment.
Research And Monitoring $62K/yr
[#14, #8, #16, #17] Ongoing research staffing/consumables, monthly medical/psychiatric evaluations, secure data retention/IT security, and routine containment drills/monitoring; includes storage, encryption updates, and routine testing costs.
Cover Story And Legal $30K/yr
[#19] External legal, PR, cover-story maintenance, and front company costs to maintain archival operations cover and respond to minor public incidents.
On Site Housing $24K/yr
[#5] On-site or adjacent controlled accommodation, meals, laundry and utilities provisioning for SCP-7822-1 so they remain accessible and minimize off-site exposure.
Facilities Maintenance $15K/yr
[#2, #3] Ongoing upkeep of archival wing exclusion zones, doors, environmental controls, and maintenance for redundant power (UPS/generator servicing, HVAC tuning). Includes annualized small repairs and anti-tamper mechanism checks.
Logistics And Transport $12K/yr
[#13, #10] Annualized transport/transfer operational costs (vehicle use, trained crew) for routine moves between cell/induction/archive; does not include large replacement events accounted separately.
Administrative Overhead $12K/yr
[#24] Paperwork, protocol maintenance (Protocol Aubain-7822), audits, and coordination time with Site-138 archival operations.
Psychological Support $10K/yr
[#22] Ongoing counseling, resilience programs, and staff support to reduce turnover and noncompliance risk among personnel interacting with SCP-7822.
Amnestic And Coverup Contingency $10K/yr
[#18] Annual reserve for amnestics, medical treatment and cover-up in case of civilian contact or accidental bonding, amortized from per-incident ranges.
Supplies And Consumables $2K/yr
[#15] Clothing replacement, laundry, cleaning supplies, cell upkeep consumables and small repairs.
Mortuary And Biohazard Handling $2K/yr
[#21] Annualized budget for emergency mortuary handling, forensic exam, biohazard disposal and decontamination in the event SCP-7822-1 dies onsite (per-event costs are budgeted here on an amortized basis).
Candidate Replacement Training $2K/yr
[#9] Ongoing budget amortized for candidate selection/screening & per-replacement training costs (initial program setup treated as one-time above).
Replacement Event Fund $2K/yr
[#10] Annualized standby fund for replacement/induction logistics (security overtime, monitoring tech) amortized from per-replacement estimates.
Termination Event Fund $1K/yr
[#11] Small annual reserve toward potential termination procedure costs and legal/ethics oversight; major terminations budgeted in incident scenarios.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $812K/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, monthly evaluations, regular maintenance and no major incidents or terminations.
no termination no public exposure routine maintenance and staffing
🚨 Minor Incident $842K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$30K vs baseline
Minor exposure/contact or small containment disturbance requiring amnestics, extra overtime and modest PR/legal response.
civilian contact accidental nearby bonding small PR/legal action
🚨 Termination Event $932K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Authorized or contested termination of SCP-7822-1 (handler) triggering termination procedures, mortuary handling, replacement induction, heavy monitoring and significant PR/legal responses.
SCP-7822-1 death/termination contested legal/ethical review replacement induction and heavy monitoring
👥 Personnel 8 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#7] 24/7 guard coverage: 2guards per shift, 3 shifts (6 total). Estimated wage assumptions consistent with analyst note.
Containment Specialist 1 [#7] Single assigned containment specialist for oversight and protocol enforcement.
SCP-7822-1 (Designated Handler) 1 [#6, #5] On-site designated handler who must remain accessible; compensation and on-site housing/utilities budgeted in recurring costs.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many cost ranges provided by analyst notes allow reasonable mid-point estimates; staffing numbers and recurring overhead are well-specified but per-event frequencies (replacements, terminations, serious exposures) are uncertain, so confidence is medium.
