What I learn running all of this

Closed accounts, measurements and mistakes that cost money. No invented tables, and a date on every number.

If you are hiring

What it costs, how long it takes, and when the right answer is to hire nobody.

If you are building

The design, the measurement and what broke, with a number where an opinion would go.
