Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 3 on-staff security personnel covering shifts (cost included in staff_wages). Mapped to item #4.
Containment Officer / Research Oversight 1 1 containment officer assigned (0.2–0.5 FTE dedicated to SCP-2353, pro-rated cost included in staff_wages). Mapped to item #5.
📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are based on explicit analyst line-item ranges and a clear containment profile, but many items have wide ranges (e.g., contingency/legal, staffing models) and scenario probabilities are judgment-based, so confidence is medium.
