Estimated first-year (one-time) startup costs are approximately $5.83M driven by facility retrofits, medical/stasis equipment, robotic handling, and research contingency reserves. Recurring annual costs are approximately $5.90M/year driven primarily by personnel (security, medical, research), continuous life-support/custodial care, amnestic supplies, and legal/cover-up budgets.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.9M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal year with containment operating as designed, routine research, and no major incidents.
no major breaches standard research cadence stable instance population
🚨 Major Incident $7.9M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Containment incident involving multiple regressions/breaches or a high-profile exposure requiring emergency response, medical surge, and legal actions.
mass-regression event public exposure/leak multi-subject medical emergencies
🚨 Major Scale Up $9.9M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$4.0M vs baseline
Rapid expansion scenario where SCP effects produce many more instances/subjects requiring doubling of cells, staff, and life-support capacity.
unexpected scaling of instance production policy decision to expand research cohort

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing reasonable midpoint estimates, but the anomalous, cognitohazardous nature of SCP-7876 and uncertainty about instance production rates and legal/exposure risk leave substantial tail risk and variability.
