Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 25 [#1] 24/7 staffing of three border cabins: ~25 FTE including relief and PTO.
Site Director / Administrative Staff 2 [#2] Senior Foundation officer(s) coordinating containment, liaison, and incident response.

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items have wide ranges tied to unknowns (perimeter size, incident frequency, frequency of child disappearances). Salary and reserve figures are fairly well-benchmarked, but scenario probabilities and some one-time choices use midpoint estimates—hence medium confidence.
