๐Ÿง  What this teaches Mike

๐Ÿงญ Signal, not blame

Irwin's toolbox is always perfect, his bay is always clean. He had a bad week (Corvette + Tacoma back to back). That's coachable, not fireable. The Tacoma loss is a signal Mike can use to schedule extra mentoring on bearing diagnosis โ€” not a strike.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Repricing trigger

If bearing-noise diagnostic jobs eat $680 once a quarter, the standard bearing-noise estimate should include a "noise verification ride-along" as a billable step. Loss data โ†’ smarter quotes.

๐Ÿค– Pattern detection (after 30+ entries)

Once 30+ losses are logged, Wrench Buddy AI flags "this customer complaint type bleeds an average of $X โ€” quote accordingly." The pattern engine activates automatically.

๐Ÿ’Ž What this page is worth

Most shops have no idea what their invisible bleed costs. Mike's was running $1,180/month before this page existed. Logging it = seeing it = fixing it.
