Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 18 [#1] 18 guards estimated to maintain four-on-site continuous coverage with shift rotation and leave coverage.
Quick Reaction Team / Specialized Response 15 [#2] QRT of ~15 personnel (midpoint of 10–20) trained for memetic-safe response and amnestic administration.
Medical Officer / Psychiatrist 3 [#6] 2–4 full-time medical/psychiatric staff; midpoint used (3) to support 30-day observation/quarantine and amnestic treatment.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude and subject to high uncertainty due to unknown recurrence rate, unclear required scale of quarantine throughput, and specialized memetic equipment/countermeasure costs.
