On a Mundane Talent AK (1 IQ) you would have to roll your IQ to see if you can recall the area, but it should be otherwise the same style as the IQ 8 AK Talent.
Why should Mundane Talent [Organization] have to roll on IQ while Area Knowlege gives information automatically when they both have the same investment?

I go with Shostak thought, that Mundane AK should cost less though I would say you get two Area AK for that 1 point.
Did I say that? I intended to say that a Mundane Talent about an organization in an area should give more complete information than Area Knowledge for that region, since Area Knowledge would give a wider range of information, such as a little bit of general info about a lot of organizations as opposed to a lot of information about one.
