Role Count Notes
Research Technician / Containment Tech 8 [#8] Eight trained technicians to cover rotations, backups, and three-week cycling cadence; used in staff_wages calculation.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#16] Dedicated incremental guard coverage (4–8 range; midpoint used) included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most costs, allowing mid-point estimates; uncertainty remains in incident frequency/severity, choice between purchased vs in-house milk, and optional long-term storage, so confidence is medium.
