Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 2 [#9] Two full-time research staff to conduct interviews, documentation and experiments.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#10] Minimal on-site security presence to enforce access control and respond to incidents.
Site Supervisor / Security Manager 1 [#11] Senior staff to oversee containment and liaison duties.
E-class Personnel 2 [#12] Operatives used for interviews and expendable/tester roles (housing and turnover costs included in recurring budget).

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provided line-item estimates for most cost areas allowing a mid-range build; uncertainty remains due to anomalous behavior (changing counts, unpredictable breaches) and choices about research scale and reserve levels, so confidence is medium.
