Why Focus matters more than it looks

Exploration does not advance narrative time. Focus is therefore free to use — and in a game where every costed action is charged against a thirty-day budget, an ability that produces information at no cost is a time-efficiency tool, not a convenience.

The practical rule: sweep an area completely before you spend a single unit in it. You may find a cheaper route to the same objective, and finding it cost you nothing.
