+The Summer Company evaluates operatives purely on **return on investment**. Combat effectiveness, completed contracts, and successful asset recovery increase **Shareholder Value (SV)**. As SV rises, internal departments allocate greater resources to the operative.
+
+Funding level determines:
+- Available rocket types
+- Equipment access
+- Resupply privileges
+- Operational support
+
+---
+# Shareholder Funding Levels
+## Tier 1 - Minimal Funding
+You are considered equipment. Replacement cost is still cheaper than long-term investment.
+
+**Approved Rocket Catalog**
+Standard demolition products are now approved:
+- HE Rocket
+- Fragmentation Rocket
+- Concussion Rocket
+
+**Ammunition Ration Program**
+The company has determined that explosives are cheaper than funerals.
+- May restock rockets during Short Rests.
+- Maximum ammunition: 3 rockets.
+Any additional rockets must be purchased at standard employee rates.
+
+---
+## Tier 2 - Operational Funding
+Your work has generated measurable revenue. Management has decided to delay your replacement.
+
+**Reload Automation Initiative**
+Engineers have installed a small mechanical loader to increase productivity.
+* Reloading becomes automatic after firing. The operative may move, dodge, or perform other actions while the launcher reloads.
+
+**Free Health Insurance**  
+After reviewing mortality reports, the company has concluded that slightly healthier operatives live longer.
+* You regain an additional Hit Die worth of HP during short rests
+
+**Better Salary**
+Your paycheck has increased slightly.
+* You gain +1 Charisma and +1 Willpower
+* You gain a +20% discount at most summer company merchants.
+Employee enthusiasm is expected to increase accordingly.
+
+---
+## Tier 3 - Additional Funding
+You are no longer considered easily replaceable. Replacing you would require paperwork.
+
+**Expanded Rocket Catalog**
+Tactical explosives are now approved:
+- Incendiary Rocket
+- Cryo Rocket
+- Gas Rocket
+
+**Ammunition Budget Expansion**
+Your department has approved a modest increase in your explosives allowance.
+- Rocket restocking may now be performed at any major town under authority influence.
+- Gain **+1 Rocket Carry Capacity
+
+---
+## Tier 4 - Strategic Funding
+Management now considers you an asset worth maintaining.
+
+**Precision Profit Optics**
+Your launcher has been upgraded with battlefield analytics hardware.
+* Rockets gain **+5% Penetration**
+- Rockets gain **+2 to hit**
+The optics also collect combat data to improve future weapons. You will **not** receive compensation for providing this data.
+
+**Premium Targeting Upgrade**
+Your weapon now includes a paid software feature.
+- Rockets may detonate mid-air
+This upgrade normally costs **$33.99 per week**, but is temporarily waived while your productivity remains high.
+
+---
+## Tier 5 - Superior Funding
+Your performance has increased your market value. The company would now prefer you survive.
+
+**Advanced Rocket Catalog**
+High-cost explosives have been approved:
+- Shaped Charge Rocket
+- Cluster Rocket
+- Overpressure Rocket
+
+**Expanded Explosives Budget**
+Management has approved emergency funding.
+- Maximum rockets increases to **5**.
+
+**Express Delivery** (1/Long Rest):
+If combat operations threaten quarterly profits, supplies may be delivered by drone.
+* You may call in an airdrop, granting you 2 rockets of your choice.
+Standing beneath the drop zone is discouraged.
+
+---
+## Tier 6 - Executive Funding
+At this stage, your combat performance is considered extremely profitable. The company will now allocate serious resources to keep you operational.
+
+**Express Delivery with Same-Day-Shipping**:
+The delivery drone has been upgraded.
+* Express Delivery now gives you **5** additional rockets immediately instead of 2.
+The drone prioritizes cargo safety over employee safety. Please move away from the drop zone if possible (really).
+
+**Customer Support (1/Long Rest):**
+If a battlefield situation becomes inconvenient, simply contact customer support.
+* You can throw a flare (9 meter range) to call in a **hyper-mortar** strike.
+	* Requires you to be within 45 kilometers of summer isle.
+(Support requests may be denied if the operator is on break)
+
+**Hyper-Mortar Strike**
+Your support ticket has been processed. An offshore artillery platform will resolve the issue.
