In the 80-day run cash stayed flat, and Alice and Bob both had to move out on Day 67. Here nobody moved out, and nobody went hungry on any day. **All five businesses stayed with their owners, and four of them made money.** | Business | Profit over the run | |---|---:| | Fishing (Tess) | $5,589 | | Cafe (Alice) | $3,421 | | Bakery (Priya) | $3,013 | | Farm (Gus) | $149 | | Joinery (Ruth) | −$305 | Nothing was sold, nothing became a co-op, and no shareholders' meeting was held. The owners held fifteen monthly reviews (on Days 22, 52 and 83), and nobody changed a price all run. After the last review, the farm, the joinery and the fishing each spent $100 on promotion. **Alice kept the cafe, partly on borrowed money.** - The cafe took $12,840. Out went $3,600 in rent, $2,690 in running costs, $2,358 in supplies and $2,008 in bread. - She borrowed $943 from Gus, Walter, Priya and Maggie, and repaid $611. Two payment plans were still running at the end. - She ended with $1,774. In the 80-day run she ended with $273, sleeping in the park. - She tried five times to ask Maggie for lower rent (Days 9, 12, 35, 70 and 100). The engine turned the request down every time, because it could not tell which lease she meant. That included Day 70, when she wrote "cafe premises, $650/month for 3 months". Maggie never heard the request. **Maggie's savings fell by $3,559.** - She took in $5,250 in rent. She paid out $5,225 day to day, $1,950 on her property and $1,099 in wages. - From Day 63 she hired four residents. Tess, Walter and Leo do the same building checks and tenant rounds at Hale Apartments. Priya works the cafe's ovens, although the cafe is Alice's business. - All four were still working for her at the end. Each hire passed the solvency rule (she would not run out of money within 90 days), so nothing stopped her. **Bob is up, mostly on loans.** - He went from $131 to $1,339. Of that, $956 was borrowed in eight loans from five residents; he repaid $406. - Twice he set a job up the wrong way round: - Day 14: he meant to be paid for oven help at Priya's bakery, but became her employer and paid her $364. - Day 47: he meant to hire Leo for odd jobs, but asked Leo for work instead. Leo, who had $555 that day, paid him $294 in wages over the rest of the run. Since this run, the job math says who pays whom. **Other residents.** - Tess paid off the $1,250 she owed Gus. - Leo had no home of his own, but slept in Walter's basement all 100 nights. - Walter "gave Emil food" 37 times (56 days of food, about $448), though Emil was never hungry. The action was used for a thermos of tea. **The feelings are heavier.** Hard feelings (sad to tired) were 65% of what was said, against 30% in the 80-day run. Worry fell from 32% of lines in the first 20 days to 15% in the last 20. Tiredness rose from 20% to 27%, and sadness from 4% to 7%. **The engine refused more.** 46 actions were refused, against 6 in the 80-day run. - 22 were payment plans offered when nothing was overdue. - 8 were rent changes, five of them Alice's lease that could not be understood. - Repeated openings were 14% over the run (20% before), but rose from 6% in the first ten days to 21% in the last ten. **The run was clean, and slower.** 100 days took 26.7 hours, with one invalid output, no fallbacks, the model never stopping, and the audit passed. A day took 962 seconds against 733, and a call to the model 20.5 seconds against 15.8. Prompts carried the new records and figures, about 17,000 characters on average. ## The town's money Over 100 days $39,525 came into the town (takings from visitors, pensions, orders, the catch), $34,491 left it (suppliers, the bank, the utilities, food from outside), and $26,923 changed hands between residents. Cash in the town went from $31,614 to $36,534. ### Each week | Week from | From outside | To outside | Between residents | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Day 1 | $1,282 | $2,168 | $788 | | Day 8 | $1,383 | $2,692 | $1,788 | | Day 15 | $5,789 | $1,296 | $2,034 | | Day 22 | $1,320 | $2,062 | $3,166 | | Day 29 | $1,247 | $3,667 | $1,354 | | Day 36 | $2,678 | $3,049 | $1,501 | | Day 43 | $2,023 | $1,339 | $1,129 | | Day 50 | $5,586 | $1,990 | $3,542 | | Day 57 | $2,677 | $3,553 | $1,579 | | Day 64 | $2,021 | $2,167 | $1,238 | | Day 71 | $1,636 | $1,949 | $1,172 | | Day 78 | $5,893 | $1,728 | $3,780 | | Day 85 | $2,240 | $2,843 | $1,669 | | Day 92 | $3,267 | $3,061 | $1,877 | | Day 99 | $483 | $927 | $306 | ### Cash in town, day by day | Day | 1 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Cash | $31,614 | $28,988 | $30,123 | $32,201 | $30,103 | $30,980 | $33,630 | $33,523 | $33,334 | $36,698 | $36,534 | ## Businesses | Business | Owners | Run by | Days open | Profit, whole run | Last 30 days | Visitors a day | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | cafe | Alice 100% | Alice | 100 | $3,421 | $1,456 | 22 | | bakery | Priya 100% | Priya | 100 | $3,013 | $886 | – | | farm | Gus 100% | Gus | 100 | $149 | $328 | – | | joinery | Ruth 100% | Ruth | 100 | −$305 | −$150 | – | | fishing | Tess 100% | Tess | 100 | $5,589 | $1,875 | – | ### Profit each week ### Decisions - **Day 5** · Gus · farm: Gus took on Leo: 1 hours a week at $14 an hour (general farm work / prep before the stand opens in May) - **Day 9** · Alice · cafe: Alice took on Leo: 5 hours a week at $14 an hour (cafe work - serving, prep, cleaning; weekdays flexible except Saturday morning) - **Day 14** · Bob: Bob took on Priya: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (oven help at Nightingale Bakery, Tuesdays and Thursdays after the ovens cool dow) - **Day 22** · Maggie: Bob's rent for a small one-bedroom in an old block: $650 -> $500 from Day 52 until Day 113 - **Day 22** · Ruth · joinery: spent $100 finding customers (photographs of her work online and a stand at the city fair) - **Day 47** · Leo: Leo took on Bob: 3 hours a week at $14 an hour (General work / helping on odd jobs while van is being mended) - **Day 52** · Alice · cafe: Leo's job with Alice ended (cafe work - serving, prep, cleaning; one hour on any weekday, 20 days worked) - **Day 63** · Maggie: Maggie took on Tess: 6 hours a week at $14 an hour (tenant rounds and building checks at Hale Apartments before Sunday rent day, Sat) - **Day 68** · Maggie: Maggie took on Walter: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (building checks and tenant rounds at Hale Apartments and the cafe building, week) - **Day 72** · Maggie: Maggie took on Leo: 8 hours a week at $14 an hour (building checks and tenant rounds at Hale Apartments and the cafe building) - **Day 74** · Maggie: Maggie took on Priya: 7 hours a week at $14 an hour (cafe ovens and running, seven hours spread over the week) - **Day 78** · Alice · cafe: Alice took on Tess: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (kitchen prep and counter help at Morning Oak Cafe on Monday and Wednesday mornin) - **Day 83** · Alice · cafe: Tess's job with Alice ended (kitchen prep and counter help at Morning Oak Cafe on Monday and Wednesday mornin, 1 days worked) - **Day 83** · Gus · farm: spent $100 finding customers (a sign on the city road and a weekly vegetable box) - **Day 83** · Ruth · joinery: spent $100 finding customers (photographs of her work online and a stand at the city fair) - **Day 83** · Tess · fishing: spent $100 finding customers (calling on the restaurants in Hillcrest) ### The month's reviews 15 reviews held. What each owner meant to do after the last one: - **Alice** (Day 83, cafe): I'm ending Tess's four hours a week — those fifty-six dollars are money I simply don't have left, and I've been soloing this counter for months anyway. Tomorrow I walk into Maggie's kitchen at first light and ask for a two-week grace on both rents, because after paying what I can tonight I won't cover coffee or bread by Monday. I'll also bump prices up a tenth starting next week; it's small, but it's the only lever I can pull from this chair alone. - **Priya** (Day 83, bakery): June on the same rails as May: two dollars a loaf, no experiments. Whatever clears over flour and energy goes straight at Hillcrest before I think about anything that isn't already working. If Alice's flyers haven't picked up, I'll knock on her counter again next week with less patience than I showed in April. - **Gus** (Day 83, farm): Holding eggs at six like I planned—no point nickel-and-diming folks when they're already thin on cash. But mid-May came and went with no real lift at the stand, so per what I wrote down I'm putting out that sign on the city road and starting a weekly veg box to bring in some new faces. Keeping Leo on his Saturday hour for now; once the north field work's settled we'll see if he wants more hours. - **Ruth** (Day 83, joinery): I'm putting a hundred back into photos and the city fair stand—that's my only real shot at pulling orders in before the mortgage lands on the 1st of July. I'll sit Maggie down Monday and get the rent settled, and I'm not touching the Tess or Walter money until this month clears. - **Tess** (Day 83, fishing): Same dawn hours, same buyers through Morning Oak and Hillcrest - no fiddling with price this month. But I'm putting a hundred dollars into calling on the restaurants in Hillcrest to see if there's another plate of fish they'd take off my hands. Rent's due tonight and the smokehouse still needs saving up for, so every clean dollar counts. ### Prices and promotion - farm spent $100 on promotion from Day 84 (+14.2% customers until Day 143). - joinery spent $100 on promotion from Day 84 (+9.1% customers until Day 143). - fishing spent $100 on promotion from Day 84 (+4.3% customers until Day 143). ## Deals What the residents asked each other for, and what came of it. | | Asked or offered | Agreed | Declined | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Meetings | 68 | 68 | 1 | | Loans | 26 | 15 | 15 | | Jobs | 22 | 17 | 6 | | Paid work and mending | 20 | 16 | 4 | | Payment plans | 6 | 6 | 0 | | Changes of rent | 4 | 1 | 3 | | A place to stay | 2 | 2 | 0 | | Leases | 2 | 0 | 1 | ### Loans - **Day 10**: Gus lent Alice $300, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 17. - **Day 16**: Leo lent Bob $50, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 20. - **Day 18**: Emil lent Bob $100, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 35. - **Day 18**: Gus lent Tess $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 20. - **Day 19**: Gus lent Bob $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 20. - **Day 29**: Walter lent Alice $300, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 40. - **Day 45**: Leo lent Bob $100, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 65. - **Day 49**: Maggie lent Bob $56, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 75. - **Day 50**: Walter lent Bob $50, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 75. - **Day 55**: Tess lent Ruth $100, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 63. - **Day 60**: Priya lent Alice $156, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 70. - **Day 60**: Maggie lent Alice $187, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 70. - **Day 60**: Walter lent Ruth $100, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 75. - **Day 91**: Gus lent Bob $300, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 150. - **Day 95**: Emil lent Bob $100, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 125. ### Payment plans | Who owes | To | For | Owed | Paid | A week | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:| | Tess | Gus | April rent, the loan of Day 18 and two months' rent for the boathouse cottage | $1,250 | $1,250 | $150 | | Alice | Gus | the loan of Day 10 | $301 | $200 | $25 | | Alice | Maggie | the loan of Day 60 | $187 | $75 | $25 | ### Rent - **Day 22**: From Day 52, Bob pays Maggie $500 a month for a small one-bedroom in an old block instead of $650 for 2 months, then $650 again (agreed on Day 22). ### Hunger Nobody went hungry.
