Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $3,730,000 with recurring annual costs about $3,572,250. The primary drivers are ongoing staff/security wages, research/monitoring (forensics, experiments, mnestic/R&D), and contingency/logistics for attunement response.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with no major containment failures; routine operations, research, and maintenance only.
no attunement events outside containment routine experiments and maintenance only
🚨 Minor Incident $3.8M/yr
7.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Single localized incident: one emergency/medical event, forensic investigation, small PR/legal response and limited retrieval.
unexpected Class-D death or medical emergency small exposure requiring investigation and limited PR/legal action
🚨 Major Attunement Event $6.5M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$3.0M vs baseline
SCP attunes to multiple civilians or escapes monitored zones, requiring large-scale surveillance, detainment/retrieval operations, heavy legal/PR response and contingency spending.
multiple unmonitored owners detected public exposure or multi-subject attunement
👥 Personnel 11 total
Role Count Notes
Monitoring Operator / Observer 3 [#4] Three 24/7 monitoring operators to cover shifts with redundancy for sickness/vacation.
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#5] Four-to-six guards plus one supervisor to cover shifts and rapid-response duties.
Medical Officer 2 [#10] On-call/contract medical personnel for emergency response and monitoring.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from analyst line-items and midpoints of wide ranges; reasonable for budgeting but contain substantial uncertainty due to the attunement mechanic, unpredictable incident frequency and legally contingent costs which could greatly increase expenditures.
