Role Count Notes
Research Scientist 1 Lead anomalous researcher (approx. $120,000/yr) per analyst estimate; primary oversight for SCP-6647.
Lab Technician 1 Lab technician / partial FTE for testing and maintenance (approx. $60,000/yr).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item estimates for nearly all categories (equipment, recurring maintenance, personnel and contingencies). Costs are well-specified; remaining uncertainty relates to incident frequency and site-shared infrastructure assumptions.
