Role Count Notes
Technician 0.05 [#7] Weekly rearrangement, handling and preparation tasks (~0.05 FTE).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 0.1 [#8] Routine inspections and containment rounds (~0.1 FTE).
Administrative Staff 0.05 [#16] Data logging, incident reports, administrative coordination (~0.05 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide detailed line items and ranges for most costs, but estimates rely on mid-range selections and site-specific variables (existing chamber condition, local labor/electricity rates, and research scope). High-cost contingencies are low-probability and imprecise, so overall confidence is medium.
