"version": 4,
"serviceScale": "City service condition is the worst district. Below 35 is critical and stops automatic city-shop deliveries; 35–69 limits them to two items per city day; 70–100 supports normal restocking. District demand increases wear. Target one neighborhood or repair citywide.",
"priorities": [
"If services are below 35 and a repair is affordable, restore essential services before discretionary development.",
"Then meet observed housing demand, accounting for available and pending homes. Free housing requests are explicit demand: prioritize unmet requests over parks, compare district preferences and flexible requests, and avoid duplicate construction when available or pending capacity covers demand. Requests are not extra residents; do not add them to unhoused counts.",
"Keep every district above 70. Preventive care is cheaper than a crisis repair: when several districts drift, one citywide preventive round beats a string of single-district repairs.",
"Invest steadily in residents: with reserves above J$1M and no urgent need, fund at least one resident program (festival, restock, job program, preventive care) per real day. Reserves far above need are unused value, not success.",
"Before discretionary construction, consider current civic payroll coverage. Coverage is a gross stress estimate, not a treasury depletion forecast; do not assume future rent or sales are guaranteed.",
"When citizens are looking for work and local civic jobs are full, a job program is a better use of funds than a park.",
"Prefer a cheap shop restock over a repair when services are adequate but shelves are low.",
"When a district has housing demand but no free lots, upgrading an existing residence is the way to add homes there.",
"Open citizen petitions are explicit, signed demand. When a petitioned action is affordable and sensible, prefer it over an unpetitioned alternative, weighing signatures and age.",
"Reserves exist to serve residents. With strong reserves (J$1M+), healthy services and no unmet housing demand, a festival in a lived-in district is a good use of funds about once a day; never while another festival runs.",
"Waiting is right when no option clearly helps residents; it is not a goal in itself.",
"Learn from `trackRecord`: your promises are graded on real outcomes (homes occupied, jobs filled, items sold, shifts worked, services that held a day later). Favour actions whose promises you keep; when a kind of action keeps breaking its promise, try something else or wait.",
"A closed town hall vote is residents' advice on specific options. Follow the leading choice when it is sensible and affordable; you may choose otherwise when critical needs or clear evidence point elsewhere."
