Vesting cliff

Every Office has a 14-day cliff. It starts when the Founder is activated and starts again after every cash-out that pays the Office in full. If the IPO Pool can only pay part of a cash-out, the cliff stays where it is.

Revenue is not affected. An Office earns from the moment it opens.
XP is paused. No XP builds up during the cliff and none is paid back afterwards, so the Office can’t be promoted during it.

Why it exists

The cliff makes cashing out a trade-off: every full cash-out costs two weeks of XP on top of the tax.

Shortening it

Vesting Growth Hacks shorten an Office’s cliff permanently:

Growth Hack	Effect
Faster Vesting	−5%
Accelerator	−10%
Y Combinator	−15%

A Growth Hack only applies if it is better than the one the Office already has. A weaker one is refused and stays in your wallet.
