Okay, still no word from decanter but I got a handle on this by experimenting and talking to Sierra Lee on Patreon. Your social investments are Fight corruption and buying the bounty office. If Aka achieves the best result in the mine papers hand in quest, and if you do the noble figurines quest you get a little more. Biggest single source of it is still doing a speed run through Chapt 2. Sounds like avoiding nearly everything unnecessary to the plot but Altina and Stark is probably wise.

The embassy just affects your popularity in Eucerin and Ardoheim

Anti-corruption affects your investment costs and Yhilin popularity

Buying the fountain just affects Yhilin popularity

Bridge repair, the bank and mine processing are strictly economic investments

The shrine repair just affects Carina's affection (- Sarai), and your popularity with the church, (you get double whatever that is from clearing the slavers in slums, apparently).

I have 0 idea what popularity scores would be used for, maybe the upcoming council of nations.
