To the children of Daana'd, all bureaucracies are the same, differing only in surface details that result from the personalities of differing managers and staff. Through this charm, the Dragon-Blooded can insinuate herself into almost any specific bureaucratic setting with ease. The Exalt has to make a (Perception + Bureaucracy) roll when activating this charm, with a single success giving an instinctive understanding of the inner workings of a given bureaucratic setting. For the purposes of this charm, a bureaucratic setting is any organized grouping of people in a single location working together for a shared purpose. This can include an actual branch of a bureaucracy, a town council, or a place of business. The Dragon-Blooded may substitute her Bureaucracy for her Socialize when dealing with the Bureaucracy, lowers any internal or external penalties caused by unfamiliarity by two, and can make a (Wits + Bureaucracy) roll to intuit the details of how a given bureaucracy handles specific tasks or where equipment or information is kept.
