Initial capital is dominated by containment buildout and optional large-scale construction; annual recurring costs are driven by per-person care, security and intelligence/takedown operations. Baseline recurring program costs are roughly $12.5M/yr with one-time capital near $219M (scenario-driven heavy items included).

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items scale nonlinearly with the number of SCP-8319-1 and online spread; population of affected individuals and seizure rates are unknown. Estimates use midpoints and program assumptions; significant uncertainty remains, especially for large-scale construction and international legal costs.
