PULSE

Monday open. Seven items. Prime IV's growth-without-price-change is the cleanest signal of repeat-customer pull. The DOPL contractor data is the early indicator of the summer service market — more licenses now means more competition for service work in 90 days, but also more capacity to absorb demand spikes.

FOUNDERS

Burt Brothers' approach to the 90-day return metric is worth studying for any Utah service business. They don't aggregate satisfaction. They count behavior.
