What does a Person lease actually buy? Turn Report #1
A $5 Person lease buys a renewable 30-day term with 250 included turns, where one turn is one message sent to the leased Person. That covers roughly a month of daily briefings (~30 turns), a week of heavy research delegation (~150 turns), or about 60 support resolutions (~120 turns). Budget one turn per message, reuse stable sessionIds, and renew before expiry.
