Operational Economy and Resource Pressure

Currency, access, time, cover, source trust, equipment, transport, and safe locations are operational resources with explicit creation, transfer, lock, and destruction semantics.

Normative requirements

What conforming mission design must express.

01
MUST required for conformance

Classify currency events as creation, destruction, transfer, lock, or unlock in an immutable UTC ledger.

02
MUST required for conformance

Treat escrow and frozen funds as temporary locks unless a separate rule destroys or forfeits value.

03
SHOULD recommended unless a documented reason applies

Compose mission rewards from currency, access, intelligence, reputation, supplies, and persistent opportunities rather than raw cash alone.

04
SHOULD recommended unless a documented reason applies

Measure newcomer and operational affordability before changing sinks or payouts.

05
MAY optional supported behavior

Use property, communications, transport, cover maintenance, and logistics as mission-relevant sinks.
