Rationale

Targeted recruitment of psychologists, social workers, and addiction counsellors. The richest untouched 4-edge lever: mental_health_workforce -> disability_claims (-0.3) + mental_health_prevalence (-0.05) + productivity_loss (-0.35) + suicide_rate (-0.2, d8). Four simultaneous downstream effects.
