When to switch city roles

Match police, hacker, courier and creator activities to the objective instead of chasing every hotspot.

Operational objective

Create a repeatable decision process that remains useful when unreleased numbers, mission frequency and final balance change.

Decision route

1. Name the objective and the urban verb this role uniquely contributes.
2. Observe routine behavior before treating an event as mission-critical.
3. Choose one response role and one fallback instead of chasing every hotspot.
4. Record what changed in the city after the action.

Failure review

• Changing several variables at once and learning nothing from the result.
• Treating pre-launch footage as final launch balance.
• Following the fastest-looking option without defining an exit.
