Research Badge Costs — Full Tables (all 6 trees)

Complete badge costs for every research node in all six lab trees. Nodes sharing an identical cost curve are grouped — each named research in a group costs exactly the table shown. Some researches appear twice in a tree (a cheap early node and an expensive later node with the same name); both curves are listed.
