Seems like a very counter-strategic/unwanted notable to pick normally. When you want to rank up specific members in specific safehouse departments, filling the intelligence bar to max prematurely of a specific safehouse is very detrimental for the potentional rewards if you werent able to max out certain member ranks in time.

Players would always need/want to have control over this intelligence gain aspect otherwise if a specific safehouse got locked prematurely you need to wait more "betrayal encounter ticks" to resume ranking up the members in that department that got locked too early. and thus being a waste of time.

I can't see how this notable is of benefit to anyone in a general sense, the only niche circumstance i see is that you would only "spec" into that notable temporarely if you already have rank 3 members in specific safehouses but you lack the intelligence progression to be able to run them and you ran out of jun missions as well. Hoping this notable would then let you be able to gather the missing intelligence as a last resort by just running maps.

Depending on the price of those atlas tree respec points and the betrayal safehouse rewards you would then finally be able to reap thanks to the notable it might justify to pick, but still very niche scenario imo.

Best use i could think for it is if there is a challenge to kill the mastermind a few times. (if you dont want to buy it)
