Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#6] Two guards typically assigned/available to secure desk during annual event lockdown (overtime staffing).
Security Supervisor 1 [#6] Supervisor present during event lockdown to coordinate security actions.
Med-Tech / Medical Officer 1 [#7] On-call med-tech to assess and monitor exposed personnel during event windows (overtime basis).

📋 Confidence Notes
Containment and routine costs are well-described (display case, camera, annual event staffing), but contingency and reserve sizing (amnestic, legal, emergency funds) are highly scenario-dependent, producing moderate uncertainty.
