Administrative Staff 0.05 [#16] Fractional admin/approvals time for documentation, permits and liaison.
📋 Confidence Notes
Notes provide ranges and clear categories for most costs (equipment, maintenance, consults) but several large items are contingency estimates (imaging/relocation, incident reserves) and per-deployment uncertainty is high, so overall confidence is medium.
