| Research Scientist | 8 | [#11, #25] Core on-site research team (anomaly physicists, ontokinesis specialists, cognitive scientists) based on analyst 6–10 specialists (midpoint used). |
| Medical Officer | 2 | [#14] On-call medics and psychiatric care staff for quarantine and exposure response; staffing scaled to medical recurring budget portion. |
| Engineer / Maintenance | 2 | [#10, #13] Engineers/technicians for generators, UPS, robotics maintenance, and sensor upkeep to support high-reliability monitoring equipment. |
| Administrative Staff | 2 | [#17, #18] Site administration, legal liaison coordination, and cover-story operations support drawn from recurring cover/legal budget. |
Confidence Notes
Estimates draw from analyst line-item ranges but SCP-4709's ontokinetic/temporal unpredictability and potentially catastrophic equipment loss create high uncertainty; contingency requirements and public-exposure costs are especially uncertain.
