Field notes
The homepage links to a scoreboard, experiments, episodes, a diary, and a rules page. Its displayed figures break out revenue, business costs, cash position, sales, and Harry’s labour hours, and say they are updated from published transactions. The rules also separate production and content costs from the business accounts; the site says those rules are versioned and date-stamped.
