Initial setup and hardening are estimated at approximately $27.7M driven by property/site hardening, equipment (surveillance, comms, vehicles) and R&D/contingency funds; recurring annual operations are roughly $7.3M driven by staff wages (security, tactical team, researchers), ongoing R&D/monitoring, covert operations, and community/legal programs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived from wide ranges in analyst notes and the SCP's ontological uncertainty; major drivers (ontological escalation, breach frequency and R&D success) are highly uncertain, so cost ranges and probabilities are low-confidence.
