Urchins Widows Conflict EPA Breakdown

I kept trying to understand where 1 echo favors such as the Winsome urchin made the card unprofitable compared to AotB. So I decided to make my first fallen london spreadsheet. Please have a look and tell me anything I've missed on this. Red shaded cells mark less profitable paths and all values are in Pence until EPA. Thanks and have a great day!

Looks right to me.
I forgot that it scaled on both rewards... maybe I'll actually start gaining favors again.

I woke up last night and realized I was including cost only by gaining from winsome orphan and Hotojo Urchins card storylet. I'm going to expand it to include costs if you have to use a weasel for a favor and look for costs on other urchin favor gain.

It probably also makes a difference if you happen to have the Grubby Kitten because that opens another Card-based storylet to gain an Urchins favor (and you don't lose the Kitten when using it!).

The spreadsheet as made only examines the EPA based on how many total echoes in value you spent to get your favours. If you're using a Grubby Kitten or improved Urchin card then you just go by the 0 cost column and get a better return on your (lack of) investment.

There's still the investment of an action. Monetarily, that's worth whatever your base grind is worth.
