[x] Plan: Chasing Kats and Upgrading Bots
I somewhat question decision to put Olivia (who I assume is intrigue powerhouse) on intrigue action with lowest DC (Investigate the hatless man DC 100) instead of action with highest DC (Investigate the theft of the Declaration of Independence DC 125) but overall I like this plan more than others and it even has my write-in in it.
Also this fear of inators is kind of ridiculous. Between ability to choose between two rolls and absence of sabotage we have a statistical advantage. Also inators gave us Tobe, which in my books mostly compensate our recent bout of troubles with them.

It is a valid point.
And Put a Stop to It!: Major Monogram has a lot of experience dealing with minor to moderate threats to law and order. He also has a veritable zoo of secret agents helping him. He has a +10 to any rolls made to combat, infiltrate, or otherwise deal with villains that have a DC of 100 or lower.
If this trait kicks in for investigating the Hatless Man (uncertain), it would make more sense to put Monogram there.
In the other, with our luck that would end with Monogram presenting a bold new line of
That's actually a really good idea. @Nystical, @BurnBright, @Angelform, could I appeal to you guys to swap Monogram and Olivia around for Hatless Man and the DoI?

Honestly, I really don't see the appeal of hiring anyone right now, but what the heck. I also don't see the need to track down Kat, considering he's in New York and not bothering us. If he tries anything there, I'd bet half our remaining income Xanatos or someone else comes down on him hard. New players don't last long in New York if they're cocky.
As for Inators, they're a central part of who Doof is. Activating them is a necessity. And taking the "Tinker with your inators" option allows us to do damage control if the initial roll sucks.

IIRC the QMs have said monogram needs to know that there is a villain to specifically combat/infiltrate/deal with in order for the trait to kick in. And considering that Doris isn't known to us, and that Doris is also responsible for preserving a type of law and order instead of being a threat to law and order, I would say that investigating the hatless man wouldn't trigger "put a stop to it".

Looks like Nystical is way in the lead right now.
I want to speak in praise of Nystical's plan myself. Nystical's plan has Olivia on what just might be our most dangerous option. A DOR15 related national.
Let us keep in mind that we're almost at the Plot of Incredibles 2. Only instead of Elastigirl, we probably just sent Hego into her place. Which means we're about to hit a crisis again, and it's gonna be a Mind-Control related one.
There are a fair amount of options that need as much help as possible. Rebuilding obviously is one of them, but the other thing is snagging as much help as we can on Mind-control related issues. The Hatless man and Mesmerella are our big options there. And I like that Olivia is on it in Nystical's plan.

One thing that occurs to me is that we seem to have stalled out on any attempts to find Star. Not that I think we should be changing our plans for this next turn to do something about that, but we are kind of committed to pursuing that, and we kind of haven't been for a while.
Admittedly, that's largely because I don't think we have any leads, but I think we need to start figuring out how to find some leads to follow. Janna, Marco, and Tom will probably get upset if we leave that alone too long.

Maybe we should look into various forms of divination to that end.

Marco and Tom seem to be the ones with the personals to look for her.
Going to have to have them keep at it till they get a good roll.

Well, Marco right now is going to be on his training personal that probably will be a nice boost to him once completed and for Tom we only have 1 use of him left for this year so might as well save it to the November/December turn just in case a new Svtfoe action suddenly appear so we still have his use for that

I still feel like activating an Inator now is too risky, even with Kat's meddling not being a factor anymore and factoring in the tinkering action. A - 10 on a D100 isn't that significant of a change, so we got bad inators mostly because we rolled very low, which makes me unable to trust our luck with the Inators. Not having a -10 to the roll and having two rolls don't really matter if we keep rolling badly on the inator table.
Can't we just wait a few turn to recover ourselves from what happened last turn? We need not make things harder for ourselves just because inators are an integral part of Doof's identity. Just like with L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N., we need to let go of anything that is harmful to our interests. The time where we could get away with being stupid evil has passed, and now we need to adapt to the new standard of pragmatic and smart villainy.

@Angelform might you change browse online for interesting stories to one of Doof's self improvement actions? Preferably the Stewardship option?
It occurs to me, maybe in the future we could assign Norm to some write-in personals aimed at making him better equipped to modify his own code and/or become a real boy. For example, "Study your own programming", "Watch Wendy Wower's educational videos", and "Ask Great-Uncle Malifishmirtz if you have a soul" (the last possibly followed by "Ask Great-Uncle Malifishmirtz how to get a soul of your own").
[X] Plan: Playing the Best Odds
I realize it's unlikely to win, but I really want to work on exotic vehicles, because I'm still mad about Doom profiting off our lobbying. Plus, if we're cutting into his profits, it may make it easier to do a hostile takeover of his company in the future. But I guarantee that we WON'T end up doing a hostile takeover unless we lay some groundwork.

We kinda already have one of those. Apparently, it's a bit risky:
Granted, your suggestions probably won't do any harm, since they're all research and not actually messing with the core programming, but the first two are basically just going to improve the odds of not screwing this action up.
Grunkle Mal is more likely to improve or replace the "Wishing to be a real boy" option, though.
