Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#7] 24/7 coverage including days off/leave; 12 guards used in cost calculations.
Site HMCL Supervisor 1 [#8] Senior HMCL-level supervisor included in staff wages.
Research Technician / Research Scientist 2 [#8, #10] Supporting research staff (1–2 FTE) included in research oversight costs.
Emergency Response Specialist 2 [#15] 2 FTE emergency specialists budgeted for rapid response duties.
📋 Confidence Notes
Individual line items are reasonably well-specified (facility retrofit, guard staffing, research ranges) but many estimates have wide ranges (research scope, surgical events, disposal needs) and some choices (buy vs contract transport) materially change one-time vs recurring totals.
