The Dossier

Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Heist
What it is
One man is a robbery, a family is an operation. Members put in energy. Everyone gets their cut at the crime rate, and together you earn more per person than alone.
Where to find it
More, Family, as long as you're a member.
How it works
The goal is 72 energy. Every click costs 4 energy. Every member puts in at most 24 energy per round.
The clock starts at the first contribution. The heist pays out as soon as the goal is full, or after 30 minutes with whatever is in it. If it holds less than 24 energy by then, it pays out as soon as it reaches 24.
The rate per energy is what the best crime pays per energy at the participants' average rank. Every participant counts toward the average, also below rank Soldier.
Your base cut is your energy × the rate × the teamwork bonus. The teamwork bonus is ×1.25 with two participants, ×1.4 with three and ×1.5 with four or more. Alone it is ×1.
On your first click you pick your role: muscle, driver, lookout or fixer. That role stays for the whole round. If at least one other participant counts for the teamwork bonus and nobody else has your role, you get 10% of your base cut on top. Alone, the role doesn't count.
Your own cash bonus adds at most 25% to your base cut.
You count as a participant from 8 energy. The teamwork bonus and the role bonus apply from rank Soldier and after 24 hours of membership. Anyone who just joined or switched families gets only their base cut until then.
Every member gets at most 6 heist payouts per day. After a payout the family waits 20 minutes.
Afterwards every participant gets a notice with their base cut, the teamwork bonus, the role bonus and their personal bonus. Before that, the screen shows your cut now and at a full goal.
Costs, returns and limits
The family's heist track gives participants who count for the teamwork bonus up to 20% extra on their base cut.
