  Each point of Research Preparations reduces the base difficulty by 1 point.

  Success

  Well, then...

  • Watchful is increasing…
  •  You've gained 1 x Unexpected Result
  •  You've gained (see below) x Laboratory Research

  The Laboratory Research gain is logistic with ASotC as the input and scaled by Equipment:

  ${\frac {\mathrm {Eq} }{9}}\times \left[5+{\frac {35}{1+e^{-{\frac {1}{2}}\cdot (\mathrm {ASotC} -12)}}}\right]$

  The exact research gains for common Equipment levels can be viewed on the action page proper.
