SCP-7912
Expected annual
$15.4M
One-time setup
$64.7M
Annual recurring
$14.6M
Personnel
28
One-time setup is large due to hardened chamber retrofit, specialized equipment, and large contingency/reserve funds (~$64.7M); recurring costs are dominated by R&D, staffing, maintenance, and a conservative black‑swan margin (~$14.6M/yr).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $14.6M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, no major incidents; routine deletions, training, R&D and maintenance.
no breaches scheduled maintenance routine testing and deletions
🚨 Minor Incident $17.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Localized contamination/manifestation requiring full emergency response, extra deletions, increased legal/cover costs and temporary R&D surge.
single manifest event emergency response mobilization extra data-deletion & amnestic treatments
🚨 Major Breach $39.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or unexpected metaphysical escalation requiring large-scale mobilization, legal/cover operations, and potential decommissioning actions.
widespread data leak or contagion multi-site escalation decommissioning / large remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to wide analyst ranges, large discretionary contingency pools, and fundamental metaphysical uncertainty inherent to a pluripotent metaconceptual hazard; many items are order-of-magnitude or policy-dependent.
