I already explained. Let's use the names for easier understanding then. Binding will be usable in the next set that uses binding, acumen next acumen. Data caches are immediately usable on auto distmantle at the end of any sets period.

So invest as you like, whether you dismantle a datacron manually or it gets dismantled automatically, the result is the same.

Since dismantling doesn't yield the same amount of mats you put into it, it's a lossy process, but nothing you can do about that. The entire process is pretty much foolproof, you can't really do it wrong (unlike mods).

Since right now you just got into the train, you started from zero, 2 sets later your investments will keep coming back every time and you'll have to invest less for the same amount of build-up.

Thanks. I think it will be clear when i am at R3.
Thanks again.

The pic I posted shows you how a full cron breaks down. Losses at mk2-3s and gain at mk1. It's designed in a way that your yields from previous sets will make it easy to get over first few levels for many crons and you'll be bottlenecked a lot with credits and higher mats.

I'm guessing in your case full relic teams and relic cutoffs for higher level datacrons will be a problem, so you don't need to build too many. Maybe even focus on making a full one if you have a single high relic team. Depends on your well built teams and faction bonuses of the set. There is a sweet spot which can be gotten with minimal investment...which is different for every roster.
