Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 10 [#4] On-site armed guards (8–12 FTE per analyst notes) covered by staff wages estimate.
Cook / Dietician 1 [#10] Part-time cook/dietician (listed as part of staff wages).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, permitting mid-range estimates; however large contingencies (land/resettlement, major legal settlements) have wide, location-dependent ranges which reduce overall confidence.
