 <p style="color:var(--muted);line-height:1.65;margin:0 0 6px">Every level you climb makes you eligible to catch the upgrade pass-ups from one generation deeper in your matrix — and each generation is <strong style="color:var(--text)">twice as wide</strong> as the one above it, paying <strong style="color:var(--text)">twice as much</strong> per person. That's why the team's rule is to keep leveling up as your team grows: stay one level ahead of your deepest active layer so those pass-ups land on <em>you</em> instead of passing over.</p>
 <p class="micro" style="margin:0 0 12px;color:var(--gold)">⚠️ This is an illustration of the contract's mechanics at Premium tier, <strong>not a prediction or a promise</strong>. The right-hand column is the mathematical maximum <em>if every position in that generation fills and upgrades</em> — most never do. Real results depend entirely on team-building effort, and POL's value changes over time. No income is guaranteed.</p>

Holding Fabrica is what lets you catch your 3rd generation (8 people) when they buy Culmen. Add the right-hand column down to any row for a running total: through Fastigium it is 1,696,429 POL; the Vertex row alone is the 7th generation, 5,090,529 POL, not a total.</p>

Everything past that first one is upside. A fully built matrix through all seven paying generations would be an enormous number — but "fully built" is rare, which is exactly why the honest play is steady team-building, not counting on a full fill.</p></div>
