Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#6] Two full-time on-site guards to cover night activation windows and rotation.
Remote Monitoring Operator 1 [#7] 0.5–1.0 FTE monitoring camera/sensor feeds; baseline treated as 1 operator for scheduling redundancy.
Research Scientist / Technician 1 [#13] Part-time researcher/technician for logging activations, sample handling and routine tests (budgeted as 0.2–0.5 FTE but counted as one assigned staff member).
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst line items with clear ranges, but uncertainty remains around the purchase vs lease decision, seasonal staffing variability, and low-probability incident costs.
