You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.

If a creature enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it, consider those counters when determining if Sharp-Eyed Rookie's triggered ability will trigger. For example, a 1/1 creature that enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it will cause a 2/2 Sharp-Eyed Rookie's ability to trigger.

Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.

Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Clue tokens.

If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If multiple creatures enter the battlefield at the same time, Sharp-Eyed Rookie's triggered ability may trigger multiple times, although the stat comparison will take place each time one of those abilities tries to resolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 Sharp-Eyed Rookie and two 3/3 creatures enter the battlefield, Sharp-Eyed Rookie's triggered ability will trigger twice. The first ability will resolve, and you'll put a +1/+1 counter on Sharp-Eyed Rookie and investigate. When the second ability tries to resolve, neither the power nor the toughness of the new creature is greater than that of Sharp-Eyed Rookie, so that ability does nothing.
