Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 150 [#5] 150 guards assumed (24/7 shifts) at ~$60,000/yr each.
Tactical response / specialized containment team 25 [#6] Tactical/hazmat specialists estimated from $2,000,000/yr staffing budget (approx. 25 personnel).

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are order-of-magnitude estimates with wide ranges (notably R&D, insurance reserves, and mitigation). Staffing and fixed equipment costs are better defined; contingency/reserve items introduce moderate uncertainty, so overall confidence is medium.
