SCP-8067

Expected annual

$9.2M

One-time setup

$7.7M

Annual recurring

$8.8M

Personnel

12.5

Initial capital costs are dominated by reinforced cell construction and contingency reserves (~$7.65M one-time in this estimate); annual operations are driven by an extensive plant network, staffing, and legal/obfuscation operations (~$8.84M/yr).

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.8M/yr

80.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with no major containment incidents; recurring costs only.

routine_containment scheduled_research regular_acquisitions

🚨 Minor Incident $9.5M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$650K vs baseline

Localized containment damage or small public incident requiring repairs, extra emergency response, and legal/PR work.

single_cell_damage small_escape_attempt localized_public_incident

🚨 Major Breach $14.8M/yr

3.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline

Significant containment breach destroying multiple cells, large-scale emergency response, and major public remediation.

multi-cell_failure widespread_public_exposure large_scale_litigation

🚨 Political Exposure $12.3M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$3.5M vs baseline

High-profile exposure leading to intense legal, PR, and plant-network expansion costs to contain fallout.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are based on analyst-provided order-of-magnitude figures and many policy-dependent items (plants, cyber contractors, reserve sizing). SCP anomalous behavior (damage potential, adaptation) creates high uncertainty; hence low confidence.
