Vehicle Economics and Staffing

Stage 24 introduces structured, schema-validated vehicle economics and crew data.

Structured fields

Verified vehicle records may now include:

{
  "cost": {
    "credits": 20000,
    "coins": 15
  },
  "staffing": {
    "minimum": 1,
    "maximum": 5
  }
}

Either field is omitted when the current UK vehicle market or a suitable official source does not verify it.

First verified economics set

Resource	Credits	Coins	Crew	Training
CRV	20,000	15	1–5	—
Coastguard Mud Rescue Unit	20,000	15	1–5	Mud Rescue Training
Coastguard Rope Rescue Unit	35,000	20	1–5	Rope Rescue Training
Coastguard Commander	25,000	15	1–5	Coastal Command Training

The official UK Help Center also verifies the available station types for these resources.

Interpretation rules

• A mission requirement does not prove a vehicle-market cost.
• A personnel requirement does not prove a vehicle crew capacity.
• Maximum crew is not the same as the minimum qualified crew needed for a capability.
• A training label is stored only when the official source explicitly associates it with the vehicle.
• An empty or absent field means unverified, not zero.

Evidence coverage

The production resource catalogue contains more resources than the initial economics set. Remaining prices and staffing limits continue to be review targets rather than assumed values.

Primary source

The initial verified set is based on the official Mission Chief Help Center article covering Search and Rescue vehicles in the UK version.
