Role Count Notes
On-site Monitor / Observer 2 [#4] Covers 24/7 real-time monitoring equivalent to ~1.5 FTE; modeled as 2 staff for shift coverage.
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#5] Front-line guards (6) for minimum two-per-shift posture.
Security Supervisor 1 [#5] Supervisor/relief to prevent unsupervised contact and manage guard rotations.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed, line-item estimates for hardware, staffing, and recurring reserves which give reasonable grounding, but several items (incident probabilities, per-incident costs, staffing posture) are inherently uncertain for anomalous behavior, so confidence is medium.
