Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 7 [#4] Rotation pool to maintain three on-site at all times (allows relief, sick leave, training).
Research Scientist / Signal Analyst 4 [#10] Full-time linguists, signal analysts, audio forensics and cryptography specialists.
Site Manager / Administrative Staff 1 [#28] Site manager and clerical/administrative support charged to containment budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, so staffing and routine costs are reasonably well constrained; major uncertainties remain around excavation depth, anomalous range expansion, and catastrophic public exposures which can multiply costs by orders of magnitude.
