Role Count Notes
Research Scientist / Field Researcher 4 [#1] Four full-time personnel rotating 24/7 monitoring shifts, includes salary/backfill assumptions.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges for most categories and a clear operational profile (continuous monitoring in a public park), enabling reasonable mid-point estimates; uncertainty remains around optional land purchase, incident frequency/severity, and variable legal/land costs, so confidence is not high.
