Role Count Notes
Custodian / Technician 0.5 Part-time custodian/technician handling daily distribution, logging and routine checks; accounted for in staff_wages [#3].
Psychologist / Clinical Staff 0.2 Clinical monitoring and periodic screenings (0.1–0.5 FTE range; accounted for in staff_wages) [#4].
📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide clear line items and ranges allowing medium-confidence estimates; variability remains high due to scale-dependent provisioning, chosen FTE assumptions, and potential one-off deployment costs.
