This paper addresses a single accounting question in the physics of relativistic jets: how luminous a beamed jet source really is once the relativistic amplification that makes it conspicuous is divided out. Using a representative observed isotropic-equivalent luminosity of ten to the forty-seven erg per second and Doppler factors from three to thirty, the calculation derives new bounds and budgets from standard synchrotron and special-relativistic relations, with every number produced by the deposited compute script. The headline results are: correction delta10 blob = 1e+04, correction delta20 blob = 1.6e+05, intrinsic L delta10 blob = 1e+43, intrinsic L delta20 cont = 1.25e+43. The correction is enormous. The study is a computation from stated assumptions and published inputs; it is simulated, not measured, and its conclusions are stated at the precision those inputs support.
