Response
1. The answer to your question is “resource” refers to existing Scottish Government staff at the time and not consultants or contractors.
2 & 3. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not hold the information you have requested. Scottish Government does not hold specific data on who and how much time they spent conducting normal day to day tasks or work as part of what would be considered standard day to day responsibilities for staff in specific job roles.
4. Each content item or topic is different and so there are no set timeframes. More information on the content design process Scottish Government follows is published here https://servicemanual.gov.scot/browse/designing-your-service/content-standards/guidance-for-content-designers
