One-time startup capital roughly $28.1M dominated by lab build-out, vehicles/robotics, and specialized communications/mitigation development; recurring baseline operations about $17.6M/yr driven by personnel, research/monitoring, and regional rapid-response readiness, with per-event response costs (when manifestations occur ~0.1/yr) adding multi-million-dollar spikes.

🚨 Minor Incident $22.3M/yr

6.0% probability / year +$4.7M vs baseline

Rural / small-town SCP-7907-A event with ~10k evacuees and limited damage — rapid-response deployment and localized cleanup/legal costs.

🚨 Moderate Incident $31.7M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$14.2M vs baseline

Medium city/town event (~50k evacuees) requiring major evacuation, elevated medical/legal costs and larger compensation payouts.

🚨 Major Urban Incident $56.3M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$38.8M vs baseline

High-density urban manifestation with large-scale evacuations, mass-casualty response, high legal/compensation costs and major contingency drawdown.

👥 Personnel 108 total

Role	Count	Notes
National Prediction & Monitoring Unit (analysts/data scientists/linguists)	8	[#1] 6–10 FTEs assumed; midpoint used for recurring staffing estimate.
Regional Rapid-Response Teams (Security Officer / MTF Agent, medics, tactical guards, logistics)	96	[#2] 8 teams × ~12 personnel each as per analyst recommendation; fully-loaded salary costs included in staff_wages.
Liaison Officers / Interagency Coordination	4	[#25] Embedded liaisons with local law enforcement, hospitals and agencies; included in recurring staffing cost estimate.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use midpoints of analyst ranges and a ~0.1/yr manifest frequency (once per decade). Many per-event costs vary drastically by location/population and ethical/legal uncertainty around cognitohazard R&D; figures are order-of-magnitude accurate but subject to high variance.
