8 of 8 — complete
regime totals aggregate same-day-safe acquisition batches; distinct functions describe acquisition history rather than active-roster persistence; repeated positive-need targeting is not labeled waste and repeated non-need functions are depth context; trade team-side asset cost is deduplicated by event and team; player charges and multi-function cost contexts are not allocated to individual functions; public-market quality applies only to source-clocked trade decisions; private offers, alternative prices, exact counterfactual legality, intent and causality are withheld
