Budget

Budget is development. Every million banked is a faster car later — more purchasing power for the assets that actually score. Some of us are compounding. Some of us are standing still and calling it "strategy".

What the development bought

Every million banked compounds — a bigger budget unlocks better assets later in the season, which in turn scores more points and grows the budget again.
