The easiest way to solve a crime is to prevent it from happening in the first place but providing other means to the people. Now my only concern is the Endbringers and if Saber and Shirou can kill them.

If we can level Shiro and saber up to the point where they get Unlimited Blade Works fully unlocked and Excalibur <the sword of promised victory> or Rhongomynaid then we should be able to deal with them with both saber and shiro.

True only question now is how do we do that? Cause Merlin being Merlin somehow Locked our most powerful ability's away. And the sooner we unlock them and return to full strength the better.

Setting up a program that can aid those with powers who wish to sell their services will go a long way to reducing crime, especially if they can partner up with established businesses both big and small. Though, we'll need to make sure that people, whether they have powers or are partners with parahumans, aren't scammed into an unfair contract that basically implies indentured servitude.
Giving people a way to keep them housed, fed, and clothed will go a long way to limiting the chaos and trigger events.
Also, we'll need to keep in touch with social workers and child services in the event that children trigger due to abuse, whether it's at home, school, or in orphanages.
That's something we'll probably have to research and do in our off time after we've got Shirou's workshop set up. Maybe Merlin was cheeky enough to have left us a hint after some time has passed? I wouldn't put that pass him, but then when it comes to Merlin - everything is up in the air. For now, all we can do is have Shirou and Arturia train in...everything. Not helpful, I know.

Best maKe sure they are in laws in place to protect Parahumans we really don’t want like’s of Scargill or Red Robbo getting their claws into capes.

Were these words English or did the auto translate function screw you up.
Was referring to Arthur Scargill a raging idiotic asshat union leader who led the mining union into disaster with his practices.
Red Robbo or Derek Robinson was another asshat union leader who did more harm than good.
there is also evidence to suggest they both were feeding information to the KGB as well.

Oh yes I'm sure it will a quest chain in game requiring multiply factors for us to regain the full extent of our ability's cause Merlin wouldn't want to make it easy for us now would he. No doubt he's eating popcorn with the Fay in Avalon watching us like this is some TV Drama because he has nothing better to do.

Right, Cold War still in place. We'll need to address the threat potential of that too.
Yep, got potential Warsaw Pact agents to deal with as well who will probably be building profiles on saber and shiro as well as probably be looking at forming their own teams. Hmm we may have to deal with assassinations attempts by them and other hostile states as well as the IRA and other terrorist groups.
We've also got three possible major events that I could think of off the top of my head which could cause mass triggers coming up that could make things dicey as hell I linked the wiki articles below. We will also have the first Gulf War to deal with if that happens as well as the return of Hong Kong assuming the PRC isn't overthrown by whatever rebels but in place the CIU.

No wonder Earth-Bet went to hell. The emergence of Parahumans during the Cold War before the Chernobyl Explosion is prime material to turn the war "Hot".
While I'd like to prevent the CUI and CCP from forming, we'll have to defend against all threats before even thinking about getting involved abroad. We'll need supplies, manpower, and funds for our new department.
Do you think Shirou knows any past gold troves that were uncovered as he grew up?

Can think of a few points which could cause quite a few places were people could trigger like the communities around the Aral sea. Maybe Sarajevo if that kicks off the same way as it did no the OTL s well as a few other places.
Don't think we can prevent the USSR collapsing maybe we can give the UK government a heads up about it as to the CIU we don't know how the CIU took power we could refuse them but the UK doesn't have the logistics capability to fight a war in Asia currently the UK needs money her economy has crashed fairly regular since the UK effectively broke itself fighting two world wars against Germany and it's allies.
You also need to both modernise ageing industry, make it profitable and secure more trade with the Commonwealth and the EU as well as breaking the Unions since they have way too much power right now and usually hit back against anything that could lose their members jobs which while admirable it, in the end, cost them because the industry couldn't modernise to keep up with elsewhere and the government who nationalised certain industry then privatised them really didn't do much either to set them up so they could survive and thrive when they were re-privatised.
As to gold trove, I direct you to this Cannington Lode though it's mainly silver, zinc and lead.

Disclaimer I should be going to bed treat this as someone who is very sleepy
Any plans based on real life history, or even worm backstory, are basically doomed to failure
Our initial focus should be making sure Britain is stable, dealing with Ireland and the IRA, helping deal with unemployment, protecting against foriegn powers and being a general role model... We can probably stop some stupid mistakes
I imagine that we won't really be able to stop international forces like Gesellschaft or the CUI from forming.
One strong parahuman anywhere could change a historical conflict, for instance imagine a parahuman in the Fawklands war destroying the british forces, I think we are past that in terms of date.
In terms of treasure we should be aware of various ways technology changed over the following decades, we could probably make Britain influencial in the tech sector, and possibly keep ourselves on track for finanical sector.
Judging by the name "legend" for that particular stat I assume doing suitably heroic stuff will eventually raise it and unlock additional skills

I agree with @Bear Templar there's only so much we can do especially this early into the quest. Let's focus on making Britain as strong as possible while keeping Parahuman crime down as low as possible before looking beyond Britain's border. If we're lucky and things go well perhaps the EU will create a Parahuman Task Force to police all there nations jointly and they will ask us to lead it. Of course that's a best case scenario which is unlikely to happen given that we're in the worm universe.
We can still do a lot since Maggie is giving Saber and Shiro and Ministry as well as setting up a team to help and deal with Parahumans. As for other stuff, we will have to wait and see through to the formation of groups like Gesellschaft if we can create strong ties and groups in Europe it will weaken whatever group forms and make them easier to deal with.
As to the economy, we can do stuff with a government budget and access to the government contracts and contacts pool since we can disperse what Shiro knows out.
Falklands has already happened and Argentina is currently busy throwing off the military junta so they won't be trying anything for a while.
Stick any parahuman international law enforcement task force under INTERPOL since this fall under their bailiwick due to it being crime we may also have to form some kind of international Parahuman defence group as well reach country military will probably have one but any international group would probably fall under NATO.
Also this is Worm universe early on we have the greatest chance for divergence to actually make things better in the long run. We also don't have to stick to the same bullshit that happens in canon we do have an option to make things better and not follow the same line of grimderp that wildbow likes.

Some amount of Grim is to be expected, since the source of the powers make its host extremely volatile, and agressive (Not helped by the fact that it favor Traumatized teenager), I suspect that anyone not under Arturia direct order will have trouble staying out of battle, just look at most place beside the USA, where Cauldron set up a game of cop and robber to vent the urges, some collapsed into Warlordism, others saw country taken over, and others yet simply conscripted all people with power and let them duck it out between themselves in order to canalise them.
As far as I am concerned, getting a handle on the UK is the first priority, and it will be a Challenge in and of itself.
Not to say we won’t be able to lend a hand, but the situation went quite FUBAR in a lot of place in the original timeline.

Oh yes I quite agree it will be a challenge to stop the in my opinion stupid game of Cops and Robbers that Parahumans play. But thankfully we have the advantage of going into this at a sprint. So a lot of those problems can be handled if we do this right also helps that Arturia and Shirou aren't really Parahumans but Heroic Spirits so we have several advantages over Parahumans.

The game of Cops and Robbers is actually the «best» situation; most place don’t have it this good, China got taken over, Africa collapsed into power-Warlordism, Mexico(and probably a lot of South america) are basically power-cartel run.
I’d say up to 70% of the world in the OTL was various level of completely fucked, with little to no power in the hand of normies.
My belief is that the farthest we could make things better would be Europe/North america, and that’s in the best case scenario.
Our problems will always be that Parahumans power are designed to be as much of a net negative as possible for civilization, and any place we don’t hold down personally will risk boiling over.
But hey, maybe I am wrong.

I'll have to take your word for it I'm not to familiar with the Worm universe but if that's the case then I'm all for us trying to prevent that where ever possible I don't like the idea of civilization slowly falling like that. Not without us at least trying to stop the descent wherever possible of course. And it will help that again Arturia and Shirou aren't parahumans they won't have those negative effects on society.
