Total Grid Count
The total number of Suspects (or Innocents) across every cell in the entire grid equals the stated number. Think of it as a global budget: every Suspect you place anywhere draws from the same pool, and every Innocent is implied by the remainder. It is most powerful when combined with row or column count clues — if you know the total and the individual group counts, you can often compute the count for whichever group has no explicit clue.
