Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#6] Four guards for 24/7 rotational coverage (baseline staffing assumed).
Containment Custodian / Handler 1 [#7] On-site custodian authorized to access locker and perform routine checks.

📋 Confidence Notes
Costs are assembled from provided line-item ranges and mapped explicitly to containment, staffing, and contingency categories; core recurring staff costs are well-defined but uncertainty remains around anomalous behaviour, incident frequency, and one-off contingency sizing, so overall confidence is medium.
