I will have an answer after I wake up.

I know it's a ratio of Intellectuals over Purists

Sorry that I still haven't answered. Been REALLY busy

Its alright I appreciate your time. I'm a serial re-starter so I've played the first couple of years a few times now and there's always something new which is good. Enjoying it more than the base game tbh.

The only issue I run into is if the scientists don't revolt before consolidating power they remain Purist so the party will get the buff to popularity even after the purges are complete and I think I still get the Brain Drain event.

Officers:
trigger = {
has_completed_focus = enc_reform
has_idea = ENC_officers
NOT = {
has_completed_focus = enc_purge_officers
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
days = 30
}


Scientists:
trigger = {
has_completed_focus = enc_reform
has_idea = ENC_scientists
NOT = {
has_completed_focus = enc_purge_scientists
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
days = 30
}

Okay, I looked it up,

turns out no it just happens within a mean time of 30 days.

Both for Officers and Scientists.

Which means it has a chance to fire every 30 days.

Damn, you really gotta beat the clock with this one.
