Each pack declares a lifestyle tier, bought on the second rung and charged for every cycle after: Corporate Ladder's car and address, the Frontier's bay and the room over the Ellis place. Falling behind what the job expects costs standing, in steps that steepen as standing rises. A Dispatch coordinator keeping up fully nets -21 a week and earns the difference out of the days. No engine change; the only interface change is a tier display format. Sized by measurement, not feel (DECISIONS #36): a -2/week penalty is invisible against Dispatch's standing gains, and a player who chases standing every turn beats any flat penalty — 99 standing while buying nothing, and $2,245 richer than one who kept up. Hence the top step. Two defects fixed on the way. The conformance suite excluded debt from the economic baseline by matching /debt|owed|loan/i on path names, which would have counted every lifestyle tier into it; packs now declare tuning.baselineExcludes. And 'the promotion leaves a player better off' pooled end balances across archetypes that do not spend alike, so it measured the mix — it is now derived from the upkeep arithmetic.
