Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 63 [#1] 7 guards per site × 9 sites; background cover training; salary assumed ~$55k incl. benefits.
Research Scientist / Technical Staff 54 [#2] 6 research/technical staff per site × 9 sites; higher-clearance pay (~$95k each).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are explicitly estimated in analyst notes (staffing, device purchases, per-site multipliers), but several high-cost items (holoprojectors, VERITAS pricing, contingency sizing) have substantial uncertainty; overall moderate confidence in order-of-magnitude figures.
