Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 8 [#3] Dedicated guard rotations (6–8 recommended for 24/7 coverage); 8 assumed to ensure continuous coverage.
Research Scientist 3 [#4] 2–4 full-time researchers/technicians; 3 assumed mid-range.
Medical Officer 1 [#5] Full-time nurse/med-tech on-site; physician retained on-call (contract).
Psychologist / Activity Coordinator 2 [#6] Psychologist and activity/morale coordinator to manage approved stimuli and behavior.
Engineer / Maintenance 1 [#18, #10] On-site technical/maintenance support for monitoring systems, UPS, and backup containment readiness.
Administrative Staff 1 [#20] Coordination and scheduling for co-location among anomalies; admin overhead.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide granular line items and ranges, enabling a mid-confidence estimate; wide ranges on site-integration, R&D, and offsets introduce material uncertainty (especially offsets which could dramatically change net costs).
