+  <div class="subtitle">Corrected expected-value model · replaces FC-EM-001 in full</div>
+  <p class="lede">The prior audit (FC-EM-001) contained four math errors that flipped most of its quantitative findings. This document recomputes the economy from first principles, shows every formula with numbers plugged in, and lists which prior conclusions survived and which did not.</p>
+  <h2><span class="ord">§ 01</span>Verdict</h2>
+  <div class="verdict">
+    <div class="stamp">Tight · upgrade-gated</div>
+    <h3>No system in Sovereign pays back its purchase from rent alone, even with its Act applied. The economy works only when players upgrade — and Tier I is the hardest payback gate to clear, not the safest.</h3>
+    <p>The single corrected number that drives most other findings: <strong>per-property landings over the entire 7-lap game are 2.0 in 3-player and 3.0 in 4-player</strong>. Multiplied by base rents that top out at 50 TN per landing, no set-only return exceeds its purchase cost. The previous audit's table reporting ROI > 1.0 for seven of eight systems was wrong: it applied Act multipliers across all 7 laps and treated per-lap landings inconsistently with per-game landings.</p>
+    <p><strong>Routes are the surprise.</strong> Owning all 4 routes returns ~ 1 600 TN in 3-player and ~ 2 400 TN in 4-player against 800 TN cost — the only asset class that pays back as a set without upgrades. <strong>Strategic Industry's Tier I is the fastest tier payback in the game</strong>, not a late-game trap. <strong>Treasury / Finance is not dominant in 3-player; Merchant / Infrastructure with all four routes wins.</strong></p>

+  <h3>R-04 · Mint pricing increase <span class="tag-low">survives, weakened</span></h3>
+  <div class="box">
+    <p><strong>Current:</strong> Mint 150 TN. Returns 220 (3p) / 330 (4p) over the game.</p>
+    <p><strong>Proposed:</strong> Mint 200 TN.</p>
+    <p><strong>Formula:</strong> Mint ROI 1.47 (3p) / 2.20 (4p) at 150 TN. At 200 TN, ROI becomes 1.10 / 1.65 — still positive but no longer the strongest standalone purchase. The Mint also depends on the Bank, which adds risk that should price in.</p>
+    <p><strong>Confidence: medium.</strong> Old recommendation said "Mint returns 1 180 TN" which was wrong by 5×; the underlying intuition (Mint is a discount-priced combo asset) still holds, but the urgency is lower.</p>
+  </div>
+  <h3>R-05 · Rev Debt base rents +1 <span class="tag-low">survives, strengthened</span></h3>
+  <div class="box">
+    <p><strong>Current:</strong> Continental Certificates base 2, Soldier Pay base 4. Set ROI 0.30 (3p) / 0.45 (4p). Tier I payback 11.67 laps (3p) / 7.77 (4p) — both fail the 7-lap test.</p>
+    <p><strong>Proposed:</strong> Continental Certificates base 4, Soldier Pay base 6. Set ROI 0.60 (3p) / 0.90 (4p). Tier I payback 7.0 (3p) / 4.67 (4p).</p>
+    <p><strong>Formula:</strong> Rev Debt is the only system where even Tier I (the most efficient upgrade tier numerically) exceeds the 7-lap ceiling in 4-player. A +1 base lift across both properties brings Tier I payback under the ceiling in both player counts.</p>
+    <p><strong>Confidence: high.</strong> The corrected math shows this is more urgent than the prior audit estimated.</p>
+  </div>
+  <h3>R-06 · Tier III cost relief <span class="tag-low">does NOT survive</span></h3>
+  <div class="box">
+    <p>The prior audit proposed reducing Tier III upgrade cost to 75 % of its listed value. <strong>Corrected math shows Tier III pays back in 0.7 – 2.3 laps across all systems</strong> — the fastest tier in the game. Reducing its cost would tip Tier III into "automatic upgrade" territory and erode the cost ladder. <em>Recommendation withdrawn.</em></p>
+  </div>
+  <h3>R-07 · Route ladder rebalance <span class="tag-low">new</span></h3>
+  <div class="box">
+    <p><strong>Current:</strong> 25 / 50 / 100 / 200 TN per landing for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 routes. Cost 200 TN each, total 800.</p>
+    <p><strong>Proposed:</strong> 25 / 50 / 100 / 150 TN. Drops the grand-slam payment by 25 %.</p>
+    <p><strong>Formula:</strong> 4-route grand slam currently returns 1 600 TN (3p) / 2 400 TN (4p) — 2.0× / 3.0× cost. No other asset class clears 0.7 ROI without upgrades. Cutting the top step to 150 TN brings ROI to 1.5 / 2.25 — still the best in class but no longer the only path to a winning rent income. This also lowers the 4-player spread from 351 % toward the 80 % ceiling.</p>
+    <p><strong>Confidence: high.</strong> The route ladder is the largest single imbalance the corrected math surfaced.</p>
+  </div>
+  <h3>R-08 · Tier I cost relief <span class="tag-low">new</span></h3>
+  <div class="box">
+    <p><strong>Current:</strong> Tier I cost = listed upgrade value × N_props. Tier I payback exceeds 7 laps for 7 of 8 systems in 3-player.</p>
+    <p><strong>Proposed:</strong> Tier I cost reduced to 75 % of listed value (round to 5). Tier II and III costs unchanged.</p>
+    <p><strong>Formula:</strong> Reduces Set→I payback by 25 %; Rev Debt 3p goes 11.67 → 8.75 (still over), State Debt 8.75 → 6.56 (passes), six other systems land between 5.8 and 6.0 laps.</p>
+    <p><strong>Confidence: medium.</strong> The economy is currently <em>upgrade-gated</em> in a way that may be intentional design — forcing players to commit to one or two sets they can fully tier up rather than spreading wide. Lowering Tier I cost reduces that pressure. Playtest before applying.</p>
+  </div>
+  <p style="margin-top:8px"><strong>Path to v0.2:</strong> apply R-01, R-02, R-05, and R-07 — these have high confidence and direct math support. Hold R-04 and R-08 for playtest evidence. Withdraw R-03 and R-06. </p>
