Italy–Albania pilot budget and staffing
Build an illustrative six-month budget in euros and compare options for staff, support, oversight and recurring costs.
All figures are planning assumptions from the proposal. Treat a smaller proof of concept as an alternative first stage. To assess a real budget, ask the responsible institutions for their line items, period, and local costs.
Six-month pilot budget and staffing
The supplied proposal estimates €98,000–€180,000 and 34–38 staff-hours per week for a six-month pilot. At 26 staffed weeks, that is 884–988 hours. A separate €8,000–€18,000 proof of concept uses synthetic data and does not add to the pilot cost. These ranges are illustrative planning assumptions.
The table shows the supplied example.
| Measure | Low | High | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six-month pilot | €98,000 | €180,000 | EUR |
| One-time costs | €54,000 | €105,500 | EUR |
| Recurring costs during the pilot | €44,000 | €74,500 | EUR |
| Average monthly recurring cost | €7,333.33 | €12,416.67 | EUR |
| Annual recurring run rate | €88,000 | €149,000 | EUR |
| Italy, allocated cost | €39,000 | €70,000 | EUR |
| Albania, allocated cost | €39,000 | €70,000 | EUR |
| Shared, funding unassigned | €20,000 | €40,000 | EUR |
| Pilot cost per completed fictional case | Unknown | Unknown | EUR |
| Alternative synthetic proof of concept | €8,000 | €18,000 | EUR |
| Total staffing per week | 34 | 38 | staff-hours/week |
| Total staffing over 26 weeks | 884 | 988 | staff-hours |
| Elapsed calendar including pre-start delay | 26 | 26 | weeks |

How the worksheet calculates the budget
- Pilot total = sum of eight adjusted cost rows plus separately entered additional facility setup.
- One-time amount = adjusted row amount less its declared recurring share. Monthly recurring cost = six-month recurring cost ÷ 6.
- Annual recurring run rate = six-month recurring cost × 2 at unchanged prices and scope.
- Weekly operator hours = declared manual-work hours × fraction of records not available electronically. Other roles retain their supplied hours. Pilot hours = weekly hours × 26.
What the planning assumptions mean
- Low and high are paired planning inputs, not probability bounds or supplier quotes. The budget uses a common EUR price basis with no inflation or tax adjustment.
- Each national line defaults to a 50/50 accounting split. An odd cent goes to Italy. The shared amount is an unassigned burden whose funding still requires agreement.
- The starting recurring shares and country allocations are added illustrative assumptions. Replace them with your own scope.
- The manual workload relationship is an explicit linear exercise. Electronic availability alone does not eliminate data validation or determine actual staffing costs.
- Delay extends the elapsed calendar only. Enter any added spending in its cost row. Staff time and personnel cost change independently unless you edit both.
- The proof of concept is an alternative first stage. It is never added to the six-month total.
What the numbers can establish
- The worksheet cannot validate procurement prices, personnel rates, future funding, legal approval or operational readiness.
- Enter each covered cost once. Separate recurring staff time and central coordination charges when staffing costs could appear in both.
- No per-case figure without a positive count of completed fictional support cases from the same six-month pilot. This average has no evidentiary value for trafficking prevalence or effectiveness.
