Role Count Notes
Redundant / Surge FTEs 20 [#3] ~20 pre-contracted or reserve FTEs to replace critical positions when converted to 'Beautifier'.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from analyst-provided ranges and explicit line items, but the SCP's memetic/organizational effects and potential cascade dynamics are inherently uncertain; line-item ranges produced moderate confidence.
