Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 216 [#1, #2, #4] 216 employed guards to sustain 36 on-duty across nine instances given the 1: 5on/off rotation and added attrition; wages captured in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are grounded in analyst estimates (guard headcount and pay, Location 18 scale) but several costs (contingency needs, turnover-driven training, legal settlement amounts) have wide ranges; therefore medium confidence in totals and dominant cost drivers.
