Field notes
The boards cover trades chosen around urgent household problems, including burst pipes, hail damage, furnaces failing in extreme cold, flooded basements, and garage doors stuck early in the morning. The mechanism is deliberately transparent: the challenger pays one dollar above the displayed monthly rate, the incumbent gets 24 hours to match, and the resulting price remains public. Businesses not occupying one of the three paid positions are listed below them for free.
