Baseline one-time setup is modest (~$13.8k) for container purchase, fit-out, security hardware and initial conservation; recurring costs are low-to-modest (~$14.9k/yr) driven mainly by site overhead, alarm/monitoring, and occasional conservation and admin. [#26]
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $14K
Facilities $6K

Staff Wages $2K/yr
[#10, #16] Marginal wages for routine inspection/admin time and negligible allocated security (most site security costs covered by existing site staffing; this is a small quarterly-hours allocation).

[#14, #17] Periodic conservation/touch-ups and documentation/recordkeeping (photos, database storage, accessioning).
Video Storage $660/yr
[#8] Recurring cloud/DVR storage costs for surveillance (estimated ~$10–$100/month; midpoint used).

[#5] Annual replenishment of tamper-evident seals and minor cylinder changes as needed.
Logistics And Transport $0/yr

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $15K/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year with no relocations or reclassification; routine monitoring, conservation, and site overhead only.

🚨 Occasional Relocation $18K/yr
20.0% probability / year +$3K vs baseline
One forced relocation or inter-site transfer occurs during year requiring transport/crane and repacking.

🚨 Dedicated Security $100K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$85K vs baseline
Object requires dedicated Level-2 guards (reclassification/threat or external attention), adding full-time security wage costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are grounded in concrete, mundane items (containers, locks, packing, transport, conservator fees) with narrow ranges provided; SCP is Safe and containment is straightforward so estimates are well-constrained.
