👥 Personnel 8.5 total

Role	Count	Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent	7	[#7] Seven FTEs to cover 24/7 containment (six guards + one supervisor).

📋 Confidence Notes

Many line items are well-specified with numeric ranges (staffing, equipment), but several estimates are ranges and incident probabilities are judgment calls; contingency and cover-up costs are highly variable, producing medium confidence.
