Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 12 [#8] 24/7 guard coverage (~12 guards to cover shifts), includes supervisors and overtime assumptions.
Research Scientist 1 [#11, #17] Senior/site scientist responsible for oversight, reporting and authorized examinations.
Research Specialist / Lab Technician 3 [#17, #11, #12] Part-time specialists and lab technicians for pathology, histology and specimen analyses; also perform bi-weekly checks and sample processing when authorized.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on detailed analyst line items and standard industry costs but include order-of-magnitude assumptions (energy use, contractor rates, local/regulatory variation) and contingencies for anomalous behaviors, so confidence is medium.
