Initial capital costs are approximately $98.6M driven by Site-666 construction, contingency seed funds, containment buildout and R&D program startup; ongoing annual operations are ~ $79.5M driven primarily by casino reimbursement/deniability, program staffing, and cover/legal/PR expenditures.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates include large subjective contingencies (casino reimbursements, escalation reserves, containment unknowns) and broad ranges from analyst notes; SCP's anomalous and memetic nature creates high uncertainty in event frequency and required scale.
