S04 · All 36 professional careers · Vesperan Implementation

Current implementation: All 36 career definitions, distinct expert objectives, specialties and earned masterwork records exist; 1,296 quick professional cases ran.

Outstanding acceptance: Quality ceilings, complete professional endgame and sustainable alternate-career supply remain under review.

The four requirements below preserve the original release target. Their historic baseline is not used as a current completion score. This page does not mark the entire stream complete merely because related components are installed.

Reference

Requirement	Required deliverable	Acceptance standard
S04.01 · Implement career progression for all 36 professions	Create novice outputs, intermediate decisions, specialties, higher-grade work and masterwork qualifications.	Every profession can be entered and advanced through Floor 1 with real outputs, useful self-use or demand, and recovery from a poor session.
S04.02 · Build distinct active professional challenges	Implement field interpretation, preservation, tolerances, sequencing, access, handling and supply decisions appropriate to each family.	Expert choices materially change result, cost or risk; the careers are not the same timer with renamed loot.
S04.03 · Integrate locations, facilities and professional services	Bind all activities to actual sites, equipment and service contracts, including exploration, rescue, scholarship and transport.	An applicable profession can improve a real expedition or product without pretending an NPC is doing the paid work.
S04.04 · Build professional endgame and alternatives	Implement masterworks, regional specialties, useful substitutions and solo qualification.	Each profession has a substantial noncombat goal and a verified contribution route to the campaign; no single profession owns an essential monopoly.
