Can anyone provide guidance to how one might calculate how much staff
is necessary to support a Checkpoint firewall pair?

I know that this ratio may be impacted by several factors (i.e, the
size of the user base or the number of supported applications), but a
ballpark figure and the basis for the ratio is appreciated.
Alternatively, if one can direct me to a tool for calculating this
metric, I would be grateful.

There is no good answer. We have CP firewalls installed that get checked
monthly for operation and we have ones that are monitored daily for
operation (meaning what is passing in/out).

Once it's installed and working, if you get reports, and if you don't
need to change rules, it doesn't need anyone.
