Considering SoP Milestones

Looking at the SoP milestones…
Setting aside the fact that getting all 27 points and the top milestone would be (theoretically) ideal, I’m thinking the sweet spot for anyone who can’t do all is either 9 points or 15 points.
9 points gets you a Class Nexus and 3X 25% T5c selectors.
15 points gets you the same Class Nexus and 2X full T5c selectors.
Obviously, the prizes for 15 points are greater, but in between they arguably aren’t. At 11 points, there is a Class Nexus plus a single T5 selector. For my efforts, I’d prefer three 25% selectors because that likely lets me form three separate T5c. And I may even prefer three 25% selectors to two full T5c if the effort to get to 15 points is excruciating.
Thoughts?

If you are close to 3 fully formed then milestone 6 is graavvvvyyyyyy. If you really need 2 selectors then 15 points is solid also. I told myself I am willing to use as much stash as I need to get at least the 25% and that class nexus but if it costs me a few units for the next 2 milestones I’m cool with that.
Right now I haven’t spent much of my overflow stash so we are rolling. But I am not counting my chickens that the objectives for TB will be fun.
It requires clearing all bosses and 6/18 available objectives. Obviously getting higher is the goal but this is a good medium
Getting all bosses down shouldn't be a problem with a weeks grace each for rank ups and unit/revive farming at the worst case.
Then again it's reliant on what the objectives are but completing a third of them shouldn't be too crazy
Really do think if you can get to 11 point (class nexus + 1x t5cc selector) milestone there's no point not going for 15 since you've already dipped your toes in objectives. The extra selector would be worth the grind at that point
For comparison, abyss give you 100 random. This is the best source of Generic sigs in the game besides offers
An Abyss run costs. I would guess they have a calculation of what getting those generic 6* sigs should cost as well.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to pull up short on SoP just because—but there may be a time to weigh pain vs. reward for many before pressing on.

i'm not greedy lol
I doubt I will get past m8, so that's the main line of thought for me. I will of course give everything a try, but I suspect m9 through m11 will be too difficult compared to the reward value for me.
Meaning you do have a 1 Fight Skip Safety Net if One of the Ten Weeks ends up being too hard for you or you lack a certain counter, and Tier 5 Requires 11 Points so you won't miss out on anything if you skip 1 Week. *Again this is just in Cavaliers' case*
The hazy part is then what happens next. August 18th, which would be week ten, is supposed to have a special two week challenge where I am speculating up to 12 additional points will be up for grabs, which would then allow for a maximum of 27 points possible which takes you to the last milestone.
My suspicion is that Cavalier players will either be locked out of this last map, or won't be able to score points in that map. If that's the case, then I believe there's no grace fights for Cavalier players hoping to get to milestone 6. You would need to do all nine fights accessible to get there.
This is just my speculation based on the announcement, but it seems logical to me. Week ten does not seem to be like the other weeks, because it is described as if it is a map of fights not just one fight. So I don't think it will just be one more fight that Cavalier players could do for milestone points in theory.
This is what I said to my ally when the goal started.
