$188.1M
Annual recurring
$19.1M
Personnel

One-time capital requirements are dominated by hardened, acid-resistant containment construction and a potential large-scale neutralization R&D program; recurring costs are driven by staff wages (security, MTF, and standards staff), ongoing R&D/documentation maintenance, and legal/cover operations. Estimated one-time capital is large (~$179.6M) with recurring operating costs of roughly $19.15M/year.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $19.1M/yr
77.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, maintenance, and documentation operations only.
no breaches standard incident rate regular audits and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $19.6M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment irregularity or small manifestation requiring extra cleanup, repairs and disposal but no structural loss.
small growth of SCP-8813-β localized acid damage additional hazardous-waste disposal
🚨 Major Breach $24.1M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Partial containment breach with multiple cell failures, injuries, significant repairs, legal/cover actions and intensive investigations.
cell structural failure multi-unit manifestation medical casualties and infrastructure repair
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $69.2M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Large-scale uncontainment event requiring facility-wide reconstruction, major casualty response, full R&D neutralization escalation and/or invoking contingency funds.
widespread procedural collapse simultaneous multiple-cell failures failed memetic safeguards or major external exposure

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide explicit line-item ranges for most costs, enabling reasonable mid-range estimates; however large uncertainties remain around incident frequency, scope of specialized neutralization R&D, and the size of contingency expenditures, so overall confidence is medium.
