SCP-8772

Expected annual

$26.9M

One-time setup

$76.9M

Annual recurring

$25.5M

Personnel

Estimated one-time capital outlay is large (≈$76.9M) driven by structural reinforcement, alternate command center fit-outs, and a seeded contingency fund; recurring annual operations are dominated by staff wages and hazard pay (~$25.45M/yr).

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $25.5M/yr

56.0% probability / year

Normal, uneventful year where only planned operations and routine incidents occur.

routine_manifestations scheduled maintenance minor consumable replacements

🚨 Minor Incident $26.0M/yr

35.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline

Localized manifestation causes targeted repairs, extra consumables, short-term PR/legal engagement, and overtime.

localized structural damage small-scale contamination minor public exposure

🚨 Major Reconfiguration Damage $35.5M/yr

8.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline

Significant structural reconfiguration that requires major repairs, temporary relocation of critical operations, and extended remediation.

large-area collapse risk critical systems severed extended facility remediation

🚨 Catastrophic Breach $75.5M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline

Severe, site-wide event forcing large-scale rebuild or long-term relocation and extensive public/legal fallout.

site-wide structural failure mass casualty events major political exposure

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use midpoints of wide ranges provided in analyst notes; SCP-8772 is inherently unpredictable and incident-driven, producing high variance in both one-time and recurring needs.
