👥 Personnel 3.2 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	2	[#7] Two FTEs (or equivalent overtime coverage) for continuous low-level surveillance and response.
Mortuary Technician	1	[#8] One FTE for daily care, inspections, and handling per protocols.
Research Scientist / Pathologist (FTE)	0.2	[#9] 0.2 FTE pathology oversight for periodic examinations and interpretation of monitoring data.

📋 Confidence Notes

Line-item estimates are detailed and grounded in standard mortuary/site costs (wages, sensors, HVAC), so recurring costs are moderately certain; uncertainty remains around anomalous behavior (reanimation likelihood and scale), which affects contingency and escalation costs, so confidence is medium.
