Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#10] Night/24–7 security staffing: 2guards per shift, 3 shifts (=6 FTE).
Research Scientist / Technician (night) 3 [#11] Nighttime monitoring and research staff (3 FTE for continuous/night coverage).
Research Scientist / Data Analyst (day) 2 [#12] Daytime researchers, data analysts & technical support (2 FTE).
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item estimates are based on market rates and analyst guidance in the notes, but anomalous behavior frequency/severity is uncertain (Appendix A irregularities), so contingency- and scenario-level probabilities are moderately uncertain.
