Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 [#6] Partial allocation of Site-77 security resources for artifact watch and enforcement of no-contact policy.
Research Scientist 1 [#7] Primary researcher responsible for test design and analysis (≈0.25 FTE allocated budget-wise).
Senior Researcher / Supervisor 1 [#7] Level-3 oversight / supervisory allocation (≈0.1 FTE allocated budget-wise).
Containment Technician 1 [#5] Tech performing monthly inspections, small-parts replacement and manipulator maintenance (≈0.1 FTE allocation).
Medical Officer 1 [#8] On-call medic/ER tech and medical monitoring coverage for testing and anomalous-day staffing.
Administrative Staff / Ethics Oversight 1 [#23] Internal review board/ethics oversight, documentation and administrative coordination.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for nearly all costs, so recurring and one-time baselines are reasonably well-defined; contingency probabilities and major-incident sizing remain uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
