Personnel
16 total
| Role | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Security Officer / MTF Agent | 6 | [#7] Minimum 2 guards per shift (24/7 coverage) as specified in analyst notes; count reflects staffing to enforce exclusion zone and rotate for redundancy. |
| Research Scientist | 4 | [#8] PI plus 2-4 researchers indicated; four researchers estimated to cover core study and monitoring workload. |
| Technician / Archivist | 3 | [#8, #17] Technicians for lab/film handling and an archivist/curator to manage cataloging, preservation and manual transcription. |
| Medical Officer | 1 | [#9] On-call/part-time medical officer responsible for monitoring exposed personnel and coordinating long-term surveillance. |
| Engineer / Maintenance | 1 | [#5, #6] Responsible for HVAC, generator, manipulator maintenance and non-electronic mechanical systems. |
| Administrative Staff | 1 | [#30, #27] Administrative and records redaction/infosec coordination support to manage documentation and cover operations. |
Confidence Notes
Many line items are provided as wide ranges and several large contingency/reserve items dominate the recurring budget; technical requirements (non-electronic manipulators, HVAC, and forensic equipment) and health/ethical liabilities are well-documented but the frequency/severity of incidents is uncertain, so estimates are medium confidence.
