SCP-8087
Expected annual
$2.5M
One-time setup
$2.4M
Annual recurring
$2.4M
Personnel
18
Estimated one-time setup and capture costs are roughly $2.33M driven by site modifications, equipment, initial research, and a scaling contingency; annual recurring operations are roughly $2.45M/yr driven by staffing, security, field ops, research, and large contingency/reserve allocations.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on broad ranges in analyst notes and many contingent/uncertain factors (uncontained status, potential multiple instances, variable transport/capture methods). Anomalous behavior and capture difficulty introduce high uncertainty, so confidence is low.
