Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#9] Four on-site security personnel providing 24/7 alarm response and periodic patrols (aggregate wages included in staff_wages).
Research Scientist 1 [#10] One Level-3 scientist overseeing experiments, approvals and incident technical decisions (salary included in staff_wages).
Technician / Lab Tech 3 [#10, #8] Laboratory technicians supporting experiments, monitoring, sample handling and field support (aggregate wages included in staff_wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Large ranges in analyst estimates, uncertainty in number/distribution of sacks (text shows conflicting counts), and high variability of per-incident costs produce low confidence in precise figures; values use mid-range assumptions and an assumed incident frequency.
