Decision route · Brand Wars · through August 26

Decide whether a weekly bonus changes the plan

Four checks that separate a short opportunity from an expensive strategic detour.

For
Player with an operating portfolio
Window
Until the current event ends
Starting situationThe bonus looks attractive but requires a purchase, setup or a change to the normal loop.
Ready signalThe event accelerates an already useful action and does not leave a dead asset afterward.
Red flagThe upside disappears after entry cost, supplies and the displaced core loop.
Four steps

Every step ends with a verifiable exit

Do not read everything in sequence. Open the relevant layer, run the check and return to the route with a result.

Route rules

Three rules that cannot move to make the answer convenient

  1. 01A bonus changes order, not automatically asset value.
  2. 02Switching cost belongs in the weekly calculation.
  3. 03The asset must remain useful after the event.
