Baseline handling and closure of SCP-8749 is a short-term forensic and monitoring effort with one-time costs of approximately $153,500 driven mainly by forensic services, legal/cover work, monitoring hardware/install, evidence storage buildout and a conditional containment reserve; recurring annual costs are modest (~$24,250) driven by part-time security, case management and monitoring/storage.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide line-item estimates for nearly all activities (forensics, monitoring, legal, storage), so short-term costs are well-defined; uncertainty exists only around the conditional escalation magnitude and probability, which is why escalation was modeled separately.
