Field notes
The project frames automotive labor time in tenths of an hour, with 0.1 representing six minutes, then asks technicians to submit the job, clock, and discrepancy in a structured format. Its stated safeguards include removing names, suppressing small groups, and reviewing stories before publication. The homepage also separates quantitative totals from narrative accounts and includes an officials section intended to connect the aggregated material to policymakers.
