Editor notes
The first job after a bad spend is not to recover everything at once. It is to avoid turning one wrong choice into three more rushed choices.
Most bad sessions still leave one usable piece: a crop loop, a pet support pattern, or a simple code-funded route. Start there and remove the piece that caused the loss.
A calculator helps only after you know whether the loss came from crop value, pet support, mutation timing, or spending order. If the failure is still vague, read one recovery guide first.
