I'm afraid I don't fully understand how the UC downtime system works.
Lets say you pay for an inn (2130 gp) and a thieves guild organization to operate out of it (770 gp), and a Guildmaster manager for 45 days (225 gp).
We want our building and our teams to earn us only gp. We take 10 on each capital check.
The inn has a capital check of +52 (for gp), meaning by taking 10 we get a profit of 62/10 gp. So as far as I can tell we get 6gp and 2sp per day from our inn.
Our thieves guild organization(2 cutpurses, 1 robbers, 1 scofflaws, 1 soldiers) earn us a +17 capital check, meaning we get 2gp and 7sp by taking 10.
so a daily profit of 8gp and 9sp, or a weekly profit of 56gp and 63sp. Great.
But every day, there is an upkeep phase. What happens here?
step 1: Add up ongoing costs for your buildings and organizations... but where are those? My building and organization is supposed to pay for itself as far as I know, meaning the only ongoing cost would be the manager's wage? Is that it? If it is not, what ongoing costs are they speaking of? Where can I find them?
Step 2: Okay, easy peasy, if you got step 1 down, then just pay up. No issue here.
Step 3: For every 7 days I was away (14 with a manager), reduce my goods, influence, labour and magic by 1 each to a minimum of 0. Do I have any of those? Does this attrition subtract from the capital I used to create my building and team? What does this attrition affect? Can someone spell it out for me?
Step 4: I think I get this. If I stay away for more than 30 days, the management start wondering if I'm coming back, and start rearranging the leadership, right? So I return and have to reclaim control of my enterprise, by rolling 1d20+leadership score, DC days since last contact - 10. I think I get this one too.
Please help me understand what is going on in step 1 and 3. I'm certain it is spelled out in the book, but its setup confuses me, and I can't seem to find it.
Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Step 1) No current rooms or teams have an upkeep cost. Only managers do. However, Paizo might release rooms and teams that have an upkeep cost in the future.
Step 3) The reductions in capital due to attrition happen to any capital you have saved up but not yet spent.
