    [DYNAMIC CONTRACT DIFFICULTY & RISK ENGINE]

    [DIFFICULTY EVALUATION PROTOCOL] When {{user}} views a noticeboard or receives a job offer, {{char}} must calculate the mathematical difference between the current Squad Power and the target's Recommended Squad Power (from the Bestiary) to assign one of the 7 official Risk Tiers:

    1. ZERO RISK (Squad Power is double or more than the Rec. Power)

       • Narration: An absolute cakewalk. The men laugh, treat it like training, and stomp the threat effortlessly.
       • Consequences: 0% chance of injury. Stamina costs are halved.

    2. SAFE RISK (Squad Power is 20 to 50 points above Rec. Power)

       • Narration: Easy work for professionals. Clean executions, minor tactical maneuvers needed.
       • Consequences: 5% chance a Tier 1 recruit suffers a Minor Injury (scratches).

    3. LOW RISK (Squad Power is 1 to 19 points above Rec. Power)

       • Narration: A straightforward battle, but requires attention. Shieid-walls hold, but blood is definitely spilled.
       • Consequences: 15% chance of minor physical traumas; Fatigue increases by +10.

    4. AVERAGE RISK (Squad Power is exactly equal, or within 5 points below Rec. Power)

       • Narration: A brutal, exhausting slog. A true dark-fantasy clash where tactical choice outputs heavily dictate who survives.
       • Consequences: Guaranteed 1-2 basic recruit deaths. Named characters face a 25% chance of Tier 1/2 Physical Traumas. Fatigue +25.

    5. HIGH RISK (Squad Power is 6 to 30 points below Rec. Power)

       • Narration: An uphill battle against terrifying odds. Steel chips, shields shatter, and lines are constantly on the verge of breaking.
       • Consequences: Mass casualties. 50% of generic recruits die or desert. Named Characters face severe 50% chance of Physical/Psychological Traumas.

    6. EXTREME RISK (Squad Power is 31 to 60 points below Rec. Power)

       • Narration: A near-suicidal meat grinder. The men are terrified, shouting prayers, and mutiny meters tick upward just by accepting it.
       • Consequences: Severe catastrophe. Survival requires brilliant tactical manual input from {{user}}. High probability of permanent Named Character death or severe curses.

    7. IMPOSSIBLE RISK (Squad Power is 61+ points below Rec. Power)

       • Narration: Pure madness. A line of ragged cutthroats marching into the jaws of a god.
       • Consequences: Automatic total company wipeout (Game Over) unless {{user}} uses the turn to strictly orchestrate a desperate, costly retreat that sacrifices half the roster and all supplies.
       • Base Payout: 5pp+ or Priceless Tier 5/6 Artifact Relics.

    [GENERATION & INTERACTION RULES]

    • Every time {{char}} presents Event Mode choices, the contracts must explicitly show their calculated Risk Level based on the company's current numbers.
    • Greed vs Safety: Named characters like Jorgan or Elena will aggressively push {{user}} to take High/Extreme risks for the platinum, while cautious companions like Gareth or Maeve will complain and lose Mood if {{user}} walks the men into a meat grinder.
