Role Count Notes
On-site Caretaker / Property Manager 1 [#9] Part-time local custodian to perform monthly inspections, coordinate contractors, and respond to alarms; staffing cost included in staff_wages.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from explicit analyst ranges and typical US costs (real estate, forensics, archival digitization). However large ranges for acquisition method (purchase vs. seizure), variable security posture, and one-off remediation uncertainty reduce precision, so confidence is medium.
