One-time setup
$102.0M
Annual recurring
$15.4M
Personnel
43
One-time capital outlays are large (~$102.0M) driven by reinforced subterranean containment, metaphysical anchors and a large catastrophic reserve; recurring operations are ~ $15.36M/yr, driven by accelerated-repair costs, 24/7 staffing, MTF standby and specialized monitoring.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $15.4M/yr
91.0% probability / year

🚨 Minor Incident $18.8M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$3.4M vs baseline
Single Hume-spike / 9391-RELAPSE causing localized passive decay, short-term human-risk requiring a relocation and elevated repairs/amnestics.
Hume spike / PTSD relapse localized 1 km decay single-site relocation activation
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $102.9M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$87.5M vs baseline
Major RELAPSE/deletion event requiring full invocation of catastrophic reserve, mass amnestic campaigns, reconstruction and large-scale relocation.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on analyst ranges and midpoints; SCP containment involves significant metaphysical/thaumaturgic uncertainty and variable event frequency, producing moderate confidence in recurring estimates but lower certainty on scenario amplitudes.
