Role Count Notes
On-site C-class Personnel 20 [#4] Staff rotated to ensure minimum five present 24/7; headcount chosen to support continuous coverage and leave/turnover.
Research Scientist 4 [#16] Level 2–3 researchers assigned to ongoing study and mitigation research (3–6 recommended; 4 budgeted).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for each cost but telecom scope, frequency of elevated incidents, and research staffing exacts are uncertain; many figures use mid-range assumptions.
