Init failure: TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'NoneType'

Describe the bug
Does anyone know what might cause this error during init?

To Reproduce
Just build the image and then run Alice to have her initialise.

Additional context
I have checked the /root/ProjectAlice.yaml file and it's there and looks OK to me on face value. If it makes a difference, this is with the b4 codebase.

This has ben mitigated for now by running initiation on Master before THEN switching over to the Beta branch.

Ideally, initialisation should work on all branches also, so I'm keeping this issue open to allow us to re-visit it at some point.
