Progression starts with the official loop: collect paper, vacuum scraps, shred the documents for cash, and invest in the Skill Tree. Exact prices and multipliers are not public, but the enabled badges confirm several useful milestones.

Choose the next guide

  • Skill Tree explains how to evaluate a live node without assuming an unverified best build.
  • Upgrades connects Company Card and the single-run Exceeded Expecations goal.
  • Money Guide separates one-run cash from the official cumulative million-dollar goals.
  • Shredders covers first stacks, crank interactions, and the verified Golden Shredder objective.

Verified progression milestones

Company Card awards for buying a first upgrade. Exceeded Expecations awards for purchasing every upgrade in one run. Millionaire uses a $1,000,000 collection target, while Cooking the Books uses $10,000,000 earned across all runs. These descriptions establish objectives, not the fastest strategy or a specific cash rate.

Upgrade the step that currently blocks the room: collection, travel, shredding, or another live effect shown by the Skill Tree. Recheck the node text after updates and keep exact costs out of long-term plans until the current build confirms them.
