<p>Absolutely. The rules state that "There is no limit to the number of times a card can be advanced." and you can score an agenda if "the number of advancement tokens on an agenda is equal to or higher than its advancement requirement." In fact this is actually intended for some of the agendas.</p>

<p>Take a look at <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/02115" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Beale</a>, which is the most notable example. Advancing past the point you need to on Beale gives more points. <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20094" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Braintrust</a> works the same way, but lowers the rez cost of ice rather than being worth more points. <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20062" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Ares</a> makes the runner trash cards when it is scored, one installed card for each advancement over it's requirement.</p>

<p><a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/02018" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Atlas</a>, <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/11052" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Kusanagi</a> and <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20063" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Vitruvius</a> all also gain agenda counters for each advancement over the required when you score them, but these unlike Beale and Braintrust are spent to activate an effect. Overadvancing more gives you more uses of searching R&amp;D for a card, adding subroutines to ice, or returning cards from archives to HQ.</p>

<p>Another example group are the public agendas - <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08077" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Underway Renovation</a>, <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08058" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Oaktown Renovation</a>, <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08098" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hollywood Renovation</a> and <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/10035" rel="nofollow noreferrer">New Construction</a>. Each of these agendas are installed face up, and give a bonus when you advance them (milling the runner, gaining credits, advancing other cards and installing cards) these bonuses get better once the agenda can be scored but is still being advanced (more cards, more credits, more counters, rez the card free)</p>

Absolutely. The rules state that "There is no limit to the number of times a card can be advanced." and you can score an agenda if "the number of advancement tokens on an agenda is equal to or higher than its advancement requirement." In fact this is actually intended for some of the agendas.

Take a look at [Project Beale](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/02115), which is the most notable example. Advancing past the point you need to on Beale gives more points. [Braintrust](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20094) works the same way, but lowers the rez cost of ice rather than being worth more points. [Project Ares](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20062) makes the runner trash cards when it is scored, one installed card for each advancement over it's requirement.

[Project Atlas](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/02018), [Project Kusanagi](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/11052) and [Project Vitruvius](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/20063) all also gain agenda counters for each advancement over the required when you score them, but these unlike Beale and Braintrust are spent to activate an effect. Overadvancing more gives you more uses of searching R&D for a card, adding subroutines to ice, or returning cards from archives to HQ.

Another example group are the public agendas - [Underway Renovation](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08077), [Oaktown Renovation](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08058), [Hollywood Renovation](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/08098) and [New Construction](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/10035). Each of these agendas are installed face up, and give a bonus when you advance them (milling the runner, gaining credits, advancing other cards and installing cards) these bonuses get better once the agenda can be scored but is still being advanced (more cards, more credits, more counters, rez the card free)
