Estimated one-time implementation costs total approximately $4.79 billion driven by hardened command/detention infrastructure, large contingency reserves, and speculative R&D seed funds. Sustained baseline operations are large as well — roughly $1.31 billion per year driven by global staffing, surveillance/ISR, legal/cover operations and surge/hazard pay.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.3B/yr
94.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with steady-state staffing, surveillance, R&D and cover operations; no major worldwide SCP-9513 activation or large-scale interventions.
no large-scale ritual activation no major breaches routine operations
🚨 Major Event Response $2.3B/yr
5.0% probability / year +$1.0B vs baseline
Regional or multi-region ritual activation requiring large surge response: partial use of livestock intervention fund, mobilized medical surge, large-scale amnestic campaigns and extended ISR/logistics ops.
widespread 9513-ETA instances regional livestock culling & market disruption large-scale public exposures requiring mass amnesticization
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $4.3B/yr
1.0% probability / year +$3.0B vs baseline
Global or existential-scale event (ZK-class risk escalation) requiring full activation of crisis reserves, high-risk R&D acceleration and comprehensive economic stabilization measures.
global reality destabilization widespread containment failures necessity to deploy high-risk R&D and economic stabilization reserves
👥 Personnel 2150 total
Role Count Notes
Department of Tactical Theology staff (researchers/theologians/techs) 150 [#3] 150 specialists (theologians, memetics researchers, neuropsychologists, anthropologists, clergy liaisons, lab techs).
Field Operations (Security Officer / MTF Agent / medics / logistics) 2000 [#4] ~2,000 personnel global response teams, agents, medics, transport/security guards.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on analyst ranges and significant one-time reserve picks; the SCP is Apollyon with open-ended risk and widely varying cost ranges, so uncertainty is high and many scenario-specific draws are speculative.
