Role Count Notes
Global Field Operative / Covert Agent 2000 [#3] Covert overseers for pilgrimages; headcount and fully loaded cost derived from note (2,000 operatives @ ~$120k/yr).
Research Scientist / Specialist 250 [#4] Neuroscientists, psychologists, data scientists for longitudinal studies (250 specialists @ ~$180k/yr).

📋 Confidence Notes
Ranges in the analyst notes are wide, the SCP is non-physical and social/political responses are highly uncertain; many cost items depend on country-level cooperation, covert effectiveness, and unknown future frequency of 'standing' events, producing low confidence.
