Initial, one-time establishment and stabilization of Outpost-8090-2 and containment infrastructure are the primary drivers (facility construction, containment chambers, specialized R&D and a contingency reserve). Recurring annual costs are dominated by staff wages, specialized R&D/monitoring, aviation/logistics and site maintenance, producing a high ongoing operating budget.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are low-confidence due to anomalous, non-Euclidean properties of SCP-8090, heavy dependence on novel thaumaturgic R&D, uncertain containment needs, and wide ranges in analyst estimates; many costs (breach probabilities, specialized R&D outcomes) are highly uncertain.
