  Well, then...

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

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

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