One-time capital/setup costs are estimated at $5,035,000 driven by containment construction (modular units, airtight/soundproof rooms), on-site incinerator and a $2M contingency reserve; recurring annual operations are approximately $3,381,000/yr driven primarily by MTF operational budget, staff wages (observers, medical), research & monitoring, and facilities/HVAC maintenance.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$3.4M/yr
Normal operational year with standard containment, regular seizures and maintenance; no major incidents.
routine seizures
scheduled maintenance
regular research activity
🚨
Minor Incident
$3.5M/yr
Localized containment breach of one SCP-8560-2 or small cluster requiring MTF response, extra incineration, amnestics and medical support.
single SCP-8560-2 escape/containment event
small-scale incineration & MTF deployment
🚨
Major Breach
$8.4M/yr
Significant containment breach (site-scale) similar in severity to historical Incident 8560-A requiring mass response, rebuild, legal action and major incineration operations.
site breach
mass SCP-8560-2 production
large-scale civilian exposure
🚨
Research Scale Up
$4.9M/yr
Spike in SCP-8560 production or a research-driven decision to scale containment capacity rapidly (additional modules, staffing and incineration throughput).

Personnel
6.6 total
| Role | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Security Officer / Observer | 6 | [#3] Six FTE observers (2 per shift × 3 shifts) assigned to continuous observation duties. |
| Nurse / Med Tech | 0.5 | [#4] 0.5 FTE nurse/med tech allocated to medication compounding and dosing program. |
| Clinical Psychologist (contracted hours) | 0.1 | [#5] Monthly psychological care sessions budgeted; represented as part-time/contracted clinical support. |
Confidence Notes
Many line items include explicit analyst estimates and most costs are enumerated, supporting a reasonable cost model; uncertainty remains from policy choices (on-site incinerator vs contractor), allocation splits in MTF operational budget vs salaries, and unpredictable production/breach frequency.
