Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#7] 24/7 heavy-containment trained armed teams to enforce lethal-force protocols and respond to breaches; FTE count chosen within analyst 12–20 range.
Research Scientist 5 [#14] Scientists (parasitologists, neurologists, biophysicists, materials scientists) for long-term R&D; salary portion included in staff_wages.
Research Technician / Lab Technician 3 [#14, #13] Lab technicians supporting wet-lab operations and assays; included in scientific salary totals.
Medical Technician 3 [#8] Med techs required for daily anesthetic injections and sedation coverage; matches analyst 3 FTE estimate.
Medical Officer / Physician 1 [#8] Supervising physician/anesthesiologist on-call for sedation oversight and emergencies.
📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are derived directly from analyst line-item ranges and midpoints; many items have wide site-dependent ranges (cell retrofit scope, frequency of collar detonations, level of legal/black-budget activity) so uncertainty remains but core recurring drivers are well-identified.
