Role Count Notes
Administrative Staff (Transcription) 4 [#9] Four FTE transcription staff (4 × ~$60,000 = $240,000/year) responsible for vetting and approving all print jobs.
Security Officer / MTF Agent 7 [#16] Security and rapid-response team coverage funded within the $350,000/year security budget; estimated 7 personnel (roughly $50k fully-loaded average).
Administrative Staff (Compliance Officer) 1 [#15] Policy compliance & audit staffing (1 officer) included in the $30,000/year compliance budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and reasonable unit estimates for hardware and staffing, but several items include ranges (e.g., panel replacement, false alarms) and the object's unpredictable force creates tail-risk uncertainty; therefore confidence is medium.
