Where'd the rest
of the hour go?
Automotive technicians live their working lives in tenths of an hour. We document what happens when warranty time doesn't match comparable customer-pay work.
// Live anonymous totals
Only anonymized examples appear here. Small groups are suppressed.
// The point
Every tenth tells a story.
Technicians across the country can confidentially send structured examples. We aggregate the numbers, look for patterns, and leave the names out of it.
Numbers beat rumors.

// What happens to your numbers
You report. We anonymize. Your representatives hear it.
01
You send the numbers.
Confidential and structured. The job, the clock, and the gap. No name attached, ever.
02
We strip it clean.
Your example joins the anonymized totals. Small groups stay hidden. Identity stays out of the data.
03
The totals go to work.
We deliver the anonymized numbers to your state and federal representatives and call for changes to the rules, so technicians get paid for every tenth they actually work.
// Stories from the bay
The jobs behind the numbers.
Stories are being torqued to spec
Nothing publishes automatically. Every story is reviewed and anonymized first.
// Privacy is the feature
No profiles. No comments. No drama.
No directory. No messages. No way to search for another technician. Keep your name. Send the numbers.

What the hell is a tenth?
It is how a working day gets measured in a service department. Six minutes at a time.
