Same gate, every Tuesday

Card

A story a manager can retell

Rent

Input tokens are the room you rented. Output tokens are the speech. Long dumps are rent you did not need.

Cap and alert

A daily ceiling and a human when it breaks. Surprise bills are incidents.

Worked example

The silent invoice

You sent the whole handbook for every greeting. Finance noticed in June. A cap would have noticed on Tuesday.
