One-time setup is approximately $3.0M driven by land acquisition, perimeter/outpost construction, and equipment purchases (vehicles, sensors, power). Annual recurring costs are roughly $3.05M/yr driven by on-site staffing, MTF readiness allocation, logistics/transport, reserves and ongoing research/monitoring.
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $3.0M
Facilities $1.8M
[#1, #2, #3, #15, #16, #17] Land/property acquisition, fencing/perimeter and gatehouse, Outpost-31 construction/fit-out, decon-shower fit-out, hazardous-materials abatement/stabilization, and targeted demolition/stabilization. Representative mid-range consolidated estimate.
Equipment $1.0M
[#6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #24] Armored vehicle(s) and containment crates, standard containment lockers, surveillance nodes/cameras/sensors (initial install), UAV platforms and ground station, initial secure communications hardware, generator/solar + battery hardware, and secure cold-storage/freezer.
Initial Research And Lab Setup $150K

Cover Story Setup $50K
[#18] One-time legal/shell-company setup, initial false filings and legal counsel for cover-story establishment.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $3.0M/yr

[#4, #5, #12, #23, #9] On-site surveillance staff (6 FTEs for 24/7 coverage including benefits), pro-rated MTF readiness allocation, part-time psychiatrist/medical officer, data analysts/research techs, and UAV pilot salaries.
Escalation Contingency $500K/yr
[#27] Contingency reserve for reclassification/escalation scenarios (scale-up, transfer, demolition/large logistics).
Logistics And Transport $330K/yr
[#5, #6, #19] Dedicated rapid-response vehicle/logistics allocation, pro-rated secure transport/major transport operations (estimated average transports/year), and liaison/cooperation expenditures for coordinated operations.
Incident Reserve $300K/yr
[#21] Contingency reserve for violent incidents (forensic cleanup, legal fees, compensation, mortuary, medevac).
Research And Monitoring $230K/yr
[#8, #14] Ongoing surveillance equipment maintenance/replacement (annual %), baseline research program operating costs, and contracted imaging/analysis sessions as required.
Legal Reserve $200K/yr
[#25] Ongoing retainer/war-chest for litigation and reputational risk mitigation.
Facilities Maintenance $150K/yr
[#11, #22] Power system fuel/maintenance and scheduled maintenance/repair of fence, outpost, sensors and infrastructure (8–15% of capital).
Supplies And Consumables $105K/yr
[#13, #15, #24, #26] PPE stocks and decon consumables, amnestic inventory storage and small consumables, sample handling consumables, fuel/vehicle consumables, and miscellaneous operating supplies.

Cover Story And Legal $50K/yr
[#18] Ongoing PR/cover operations, local payments, and routine legal support to maintain deniability.
Amnestic Administration $50K/yr
[#13] Per-administration costs (drug + medic time + follow-ups) averaged across anticipated administrations/year; inventory & compliance treated elsewhere.
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.0M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents: ongoing staffing, routine maintenance, research, and reserves.
routine operations no trespass incidents no major breaches
🚨 Minor Incident $3.2M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Single localized violent incident or trespass requiring MTF response, medical care, forensic cleanup and modest legal/PR activity.
unauthorized entry with injuries small-scale MTF deployment local media attention
🚨 Major Breach $3.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$600K vs baseline
Significant breach or violent episode with multiple casualties, extended investigation, larger MTF deployment and legal fallout.
multiple-casualty incident extended MTF operation litigation and extended PR response
🚨 Reclassification Escalation $5.5M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
SCP effects escalate or spread, requiring transfer, large-scale containment upgrades/demolition, or conversion to site-level containment.
observed escalation in effects evidence of spread or permanent effects decision to transfer or scale containment
