Upgrade Drops and Currency
The loose rows every progression system touches: Ounce, the character EXP books, the universal Insight drops, the Motive bookmarks and the gray-tier filler.
The rows that do not belong to a tier ladder. Twenty materials that every progression system touches at some point, and the group with the widest spread in how heavily each one is used.
Ounce is the game's currency and the single most demanded material in Silver Palace by a wide margin. Twin Argent Strands is the one Insight Material that appears in the ability costs of every character on the roster. Two more, Everburning Chain Sword and Embryo in a Bottle, come from named Case Review runs and appear in the ability costs of eight and six characters respectively.
The rest are lower-traffic: the four Science of All Things volumes for character EXP, the four bookmarks that Motive analysis produces, the four gray-tier fillers that turn up in bulk in ability costs, and two Fable rows and two random Epiphany rows the game publishes no drop route for.

The Ounce number
Taking every character and every Motive currently in the build to the ceiling the game publishes costs 6,199,925 Ounce. Nothing else in the database is measured in millions.
It is earned four ways: Funds Gathering on the daily routine, Info Exchange, Cognito Assembly, and City Events. Because it appears in every ability rung, every ascension tier and every Motive breakthrough, it is the one material that is never the thing you plan around, and always the thing you run out of.
