Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 Eight guards for three-shift 24/7 coverage; primary driver of security wages in staff_wages [#8].
Containment Technician 2 Two containment techs for direct interaction, feeding, and maintenance; included in staff_wages [#8].
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most categories, enabling a reasoned estimate; uncertainty remains due to optional choices (glass vs concrete, transport pod procurement, and potential exploitation costs), hence medium confidence.
