$6.7M
One-time setup
$14.6M
Annual recurring
$6.4M
Personnel
28
Initial one-time setup is estimated at $14,600,000 driven by land/site construction, instrumentation and large contingency reserves; annual operations are roughly $6,400,000 driven mainly by personnel, security, consumables, and ongoing research/monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.4M/yr
89.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine experiments and maintenance only.
no unexpected expansion routine experiments only no major equipment losses
🚨 Minor Incident $6.9M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Moderate containment event requiring additional engineering work, expanded berms, increased expendables and short-term hires.
SCP expands beyond planned bounds temporary site relocation/berm construction surge in probe/robot losses
🚨 Major Breach $14.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant breach/expansion requiring relocation of site assets, large-scale engineering, and substantial legal/operational response.
SCP relocates multiple miles or rapidly expands human casualties or large equipment losses extended emergency response and site rebuild
🚨 Political Exposure $31.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$25.0M vs baseline
Severe public/political exposure requiring long-term settlements, population relocations, extensive cover-ups and government-level response.
civilian casualties publicized media or political exposure large-area contamination or forced relocations

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are mid-range judgements based on broad analyst ranges and the object's unpredictable dimensional behavior; line items are well-identified but the object's unknown maximum scale and experimental tempo produce material uncertainty.
