Annual recurring
$163K
Personnel

Initial one-time startup and investigative costs are modest but include specialized memetic shielding and lab testing; total one-time costs are dominated by contingency allowance. Ongoing annual costs are driven primarily by research staff wages, medical/mnestic administration, covert monitoring, and inter-division coordination.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $163K/yr
91.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine monitoring, staff costs, and modest maintenance/training.
no propagation only routine monitoring and follow-ups
🚨 Minor Incident $183K/yr
8.0% probability / year +$20K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring additional forensic work, extra mnestic administrations, and one or two additional collection/disposal events.
new contaminated items discovered need for extra forensic recovery & disposal
🚨 Major Escalation $463K/yr
1.0% probability / year +$300K vs baseline
Significant propagation requiring apartment/building quarantine, large-scale neutralization, relocation, and extended inter-division response.
propagation beyond single subject need for large-scale quarantine/neutralization

Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 Lead Conterconceptual researcher assigned to SCP-7845 (0.5–1.0 FTE equivalence covered in staff_wages) [#7].
Evidence Tech / Lab Technician 1 Technical support for processing, photographing, and sample prep (~0.5 FTE covered in staff_wages) [#8].
📋 Confidence Notes
Moderate confidence: analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable ranges for routine costs, but several items (forensics, containment boxes, contingency) are wide-ranging and scenario-dependent, producing uncertainty in one-time and escalation costs.
