My first step will be getting an idea for describing the facility itself. As every company and facility handles their security differently, giving variation on its types of security with obvious strengths and weaknesses. It was tempting to use a star-notation in honour of GTA, but I like the idea of a Japanese inspired grading system better. For each grade, not only do the number of units go up, but so do their quality. The examples of each Grade are intended to be typical, with wiggle room - a single patrol guard is C Grade, but if that single guard is a Red Samurai, the entire grade is raised to B. Contrariwise, stuffing your facility to the gills with mooks is nominally an S-Grade maneuver, but the whole thing becomes B if you make them all mall cops (on-site SWAT are given lethal rounds and armored vests).
The response & matrix security are still uncertain, and I welcome suggestions for what each of the grades should look like.
