Strategy
With an optimal EPA of around 3, this will never be an effective source of money, but it may be a useful source of the one item it provides.
Optimal play involves focusing on the more advanced options that you can do reliably, and using easy options when you need 25 research or less. If you only need 7 or less research for the next stage, use one of the options that provide additional items.
Stage 1 and 2 both take at least 6 actions, while stage 3 can be done in 5 actions. In addition, 1 action is required to start, one to gain your first lead, and 3 to finish stages for a minimum of 22 actions.
