Nadir: Cards, Stat Loss and Profitability

Since I visited the Nadir after ages twice in three days and taking a hit to a base watchful of 215, I was curious about its profitability. Did anyone calculated the average gain for stat loss and actions? Normally I do calculations by myself but this is a bit complex with 19 different cards and each having multiple options and options causing different amount of irrigo and the amount of irrigo when leaving effecting stat loss. or did anyone gathered data from the people?
In my recent two visits I was extremely lucky, so lucky that I succeded Unlikely Garden twice. And after almost sacrificing two level of stats for 12,5 echo item because if it is not 215 what is the point of having a stat above 200  It got me thinking about how worthwile it is to always visit the nadir.

Generally, most people would recommend never entering Nadir once you've elected to raise a base stat above 200.
Average gain requires working the math out in three scenarios (leave w/ Irrigo @ 5, leave w/ Irrigo @ 9, expulsion via Irrigo @ 10/11) Maximizing profitability requires 5-card lodgings. Additionally, profitability goes up if you have a Daughter in the Shadows (increase value of Old Bones card,) and sees a minor increase if you are following Ambition: Heart's Desire. The numbers can be run, but it takes a lot of work due to the high number of branches and conditions.

I did a personal spreadsheet a while ago; but it doesn't take into account stat loss because when I'm not running the Fidgeting Writer, I just grind the War of Assassins to recoup my stats, so it's not like the stat loss _costs_ me anything.

Best thing to do is make up your own spreadsheet with your own success rates and unlocks, like I did, then!
