Role Count Notes
Level-2 Researcher 1 [#13, #15, #16] Researcher assigned to escort duties, training, and interactions; included in escort labor cost estimates and background check processing.
Level-1 Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#13, #14, #16] Security officer assigned to escort duties and on-call redundancy; included in escort labor and overhead estimates.
📋 Confidence Notes
Most line items are standard facilities, equipment and staffing costs (moderate confidence). Major uncertainties are escort frequency (drives wages) and choice between reusable vs disposable coverings; incident probabilities are subjective but bounded by Safe classification and cooperative history.
