Describing a copy-clan with Boardroom & Curia
In a hard-SF TL9 setting with TL10+ computers, I'm poking around at stats for people who've uploaded themselves. Right now, I'm looking at using B&C to describe the copy-clan of one of the poorer emulated minds. But I'm not particularly familiar with B&C (or Social Engineering); I suspect I'm missing a trick or three. Can someone double-check my initial rough figuring, and suggest other improvements?

** The "LoadBear" Copy-Clan
* Mission Statement: Provide services to existing copies, including safehouses (and other emergency services), lobbying and liasing, secure comms, and a clan library.
* Capabilities:

* Members: 1,000
* Wealth: Struggling
* Contacts: Administration-21 [4], Engineering skills-12 [5]
* Member Traits: Claim to Hospitality (other copies) [5], Signature Gear ($15k, baseline robotic bodies) [1], Extra Life (Requires Copy) (provides storage of digital backups of members' minds) [20], Undisclosed Facilities (safehouses) [1]
* Notable Resources: Rathauses (robo-dorms), private comms, computers
* Reaction-Time Modifier: -2 (TL9 (-1), Administration-21 (-2), Complexity +1)
* Costs and Values:
* Startup Cost: $21.6M + PointValueAsPercentage(min -20%)=36%*PreviousNumber = $29,376,000
* Resource Value: StartupCost/200 = $146,880
* Patron Value: 10
* Enemy Value: -30?
* Ally and Dependent Value: ?
* Social Attributes:

* Income Range: $? Struggling to $? Comfortable
* Reputation: +1 (extropians, transhumanists), +0 (other ems, who share some interests but also compete for similar economic niches), -1 to -4 (anti-emulationists and other anti-immortalists)
* Notes:
- Copies who diverge enough to lack a Sense of Duty to other copies are free to stop paying dues and stop receiving benefits.
