Default 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:
* TL: at least superscience-free TL9, with TL10+ computers
* 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:
* Type: Fraternal (copies), Trade (copy-clan guild), Advocacy (for em rights)
* CR: 3
* Loyalty: Very Good (16; +3)
* Rank: Guild Rank 0-3 [2/level] (Nominal Hierarchical Position With Title (1/level), Chain of Command (1/level), Typical Resources (1/level), Not Dominant or Unique (-1/level))
* 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.
