Yeah, for sure. I think it is well designed: very useful but not bonkers. The lowball clause is a good mitigating factor (for slides especially), but since you get production back in Upkeep Phase, immediately after paying, the holding is still essentially free. The fact that you can tutor from DECK and discard is where the card shines. Get the perfect deed every time!
I will note, however, that R&D can’t be tutored. Its in-town only.
