Role Count Notes
Avian Technician / Caretaker 1 [#5] One dedicated full-time technician responsible for daily feeding, tagging, cleaning, and monitoring.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#6] Two on-site guards to provide continuous coverage and respond to containment alarms.
Part-time Veterinarian / Consultant 0.25 [#7] Part-time contracted veterinary support (retainer/hours equivalent).
Private Chef (retainer) 1 [#8] One contracted/high-quality private chef retained to meet meal reputation requirements.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line items are grounded in practical engineering and operational estimates, but ranges for replication frequency, chef/food policy choices, and incident severity create material uncertainty in annual costs.
