I’ll establish two facts: that under the stepwise inaction baseline, a subagent completely undermines all impact measures (including twenty billion questions).
Note this implicitly assumes an agent benefits by building the subagent. The specific counterexample I have in mind will be a few posts later in my sequence.

It needs to benefit for R0−ρ; not necessarily for R0 or −ρ alone.
It seems to me that, generically, since ρ is supposed to be a hindrance to the agent, taking a few turns to then neutralise ρ should be beneficial.
