Use this so punishments feel strict, consistent, and inevitable.
- Level 1 = first time, minor disruption, no pattern yet
- Level 2 = repeat, deliberate testing, or it disrupted the frame
- Level 3 = repeat within 7 days, sabotage pattern, running/stonewalling, or “power move” behavior
Escalation rule: same offence repeats within 7 days → go up one level.
Level 1: Single correction loop
- One warning → Freeze → 3-command timed drill (short)
Level 2: Sentence + drill
- Pain-first sentence (brief) → Freeze → timed drill restart on any miss
Level 3: Debt + drill
- Queue “Noted. Owed. Within 7 days.”
- Deliver a Debt punishment at next session start + longer drill
Best cards: P-11 [S], plus P-02 [D] as rotation partner.
Level 1: Truth snap
- Freeze → 5 yes/no questions → 3-command obedience chain
Level 2: Truth + attention lock
- Yes/no window → attention lock until 2 obediences completed
Level 3: Debt + honesty tax
- Debt punishment + remove reward-heavy until a clean honesty score is restored
Best cards: P-12 [T], rotate with A-05 [D] or P-02 [D].
Level 1: Authority snap
- Freeze → short sentence → obedience chain
Level 2: Stronger sentence + stillness block
- Sentence → Freeze → stillness 60 seconds → chain
Level 3: Debt + rotation lock
- Queue debt within 7 days
- Next punishment cannot be [S] twice in a row, must rotate [D]/[T] after
Best card: P-13 [S], rotate with P-17 [D] or P-01 [T].
Level 1: Yes/no only
- 5 yes/no questions, end there
Level 2: Yes/no + attention lock
- You earn attention back through 2 obediences
Level 3: Deprivation + debt
- Corner stillness block + debt punishment queued within 7 days
Best card: P-17 [D], rotate with P-06 [T].
Level 1: Deprivation first
- Corner stillness (short) → retrieve → admission ladder
Level 2: Deprivation longer + admission ladder strict
- Longer stillness + 3-step admissions required
Level 3: Debt + no reward-heavy until surrender is clean
- Debt punishment at next session start
- Reward-heavy locked until admissions are clean
Best card: P-16 [D], rotate with P-19 [T].
Level 1: Retrieve + stabilise
- Quiet hunter retrieve → containment → obedience chain
Level 2: Retrieve + consequence
- Retrieve → consequence (sentence if challenge, deprivation if upset) → closure
Level 3: Debt + upgrade ladder
- Debt punishment within 7 days
- Next time running triggers an automatic upgrade (heavier consequence)
Best card: P-15 [D], rotate with P-05 [S]/[D] depending how run.

Level 1: Converter
- Decision tree → Freeze → obedience chain
Level 2: Converter + add-on
- Converter plus CA-01 or CA-04 (capture debt)
Level 3: Debt + restricted resistance window
- Debt punishment within 7 days
- Next CNC session has a shorter resistance window and higher consequence
Best card: P-14 [S] (or [D] if containment-only), rotate with P-06 [T] after.
Level 1: Stabilise only
- Containment, hold, Mode Off if needed
Level 2: Stabilise then small consequence
- After stabilising: small sentence + obedience chain
Level 3: Debt (not immediate)
