Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 1 Dedicated security FTE ensuring device compliance for 2061-Positive individuals [#11].
Administrative Staff / Case Manager 1 Coordinates between site, psychiatric facility, legal and contractors (0.5–1.0 FTE budgeted; midpoint used) [#19].
Site Security (allocated FTE) 0.2 Marginal allocation of site-level security/admin time for audits and two-person rule enforcement [#5].
📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and patient-care costs are well-described and yield moderate confidence in baseline recurring estimates; contingent per-incident and contractor/research program costs are highly uncertain, lowering overall confidence to medium.
