SCP-9150

Expected annual

$19.0M

One-time setup

$6.3M

Annual recurring

$18.0M

Personnel

One-time capital and setup costs are roughly $6.27M, driven by a small GMP facility, stockpile purchase and clinical/site modifications; recurring annual costs are about $17.91M/yr driven by ongoing pharmacology R&D, staff wages (pharmacy, therapists, response teams) and contingency/reserve funding.

⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $18.0M/yr

74.0% probability / year

Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine R&D, dispensing, therapy and maintenance.

steady caseload routine prophylaxis demand no cluster activations

🚨 Minor Incident $18.9M/yr

20.0% probability / year +$925K vs baseline

Localized cluster or surge requiring extra hospitalizations, additional therapy and stockpile drawdown.

small activation cluster increased inpatient admissions surge therapy demand

🚨 Major Cluster $22.9M/yr

5.0% probability / year +$4.9M vs baseline

Large multi-site outbreak of activations requiring major inpatient care, broad retraining and significant knowledge reconstruction.

multi-site simultaneous activations multiple Stage 4/5 progressions large-scale retraining needs

🚨 Political Exposure $77.9M/yr

1.0% probability / year +$59.9M vs baseline

Public leak or political exposure forces mass prophylaxis/mass-treatment program and major PR/legal response.

public leak or media exposure mass prophylaxis demand major litigation/PR campaign

📋 Confidence Notes

Ranges in the analyst notes are broad and many key drivers are unknown (true prevalence of activations, complexity of Treatment-R9KL synthesis, frequency of Stage-5 cases, extent of required neurotechnology). Estimates use mid-range assumptions for a 10,000-staff baseline and are order-of-magnitude only.
