Reset timing

Scritchy Scratchy prestige and Jack Points

Prestige is the point where Scritchy Scratchy stops being only about one lucky run. Jack Points should be judged by what they change on the next run, not by how impressive the current number feels.

Prestige

Reset for future value

Prestige matters when the next run becomes cleaner than continuing the current grind.

Jack Points

Future-run power

Think of Jack Points as compression: less repeated work before the useful part of the run.

Automation

Return faster

A good reset helps you reach automation, stability, or key upgrades sooner next time.

When should you prestige?

Prestige becomes attractive when the current run has stopped opening meaningful power and permanent progress is likely to return more than another long stretch of local grinding. It is not a button to press immediately every time Jack Points appear.

Will this reset get me back to Scratch Bot, Fan, and stable ticket flow sooner?
Are permanent upgrades now more valuable than one more expensive local upgrade?
Has the current run slowed into maintenance rather than meaningful unlocks?
Can I explain what the next run will do better because of these Jack Points?
