Rule 11 · money + risk
Executive summary
644 animals across the org must each be seen alive, every day, by an accountable human. Here is where coverage stands today, what Rule 11 costs, and the two numbers that must both be told together.

The headline — told honestly, both halves
Like-for-like: $-13,245/wk · -20.7% — a CUT
Rule 11 at cap 18 × 8h costs $50,761.76/wk. The keepers are drawn from the animal-care + interaction pool that is already on payroll ($64,007/wk). Re-tasking that pool, not adding to it, is a -20.7% reduction.
But heads/day goes UP: 48 → 61
Proof-of-life is heads-per-day, not dollars. Rule 11 needs 61 keepers on the floor each day vs the 48 animal-care keepers scheduled today. That is the real cost of daily proof-of-life, and it is stated plainly rather than hidden behind the pool math.

Weight-total disclosure
This build computes 1080; the spec quotes 1080.5; the earlier greenfield pass got 1087 (22 blank / scientific-only Species rows defaulting to tier 2 — issue #6 data rot). ceil(weight ÷ cap) lands on the same keeper count at cap 14 and 18 either way; we show all three and silently pick none.
