Done

Tell it the thing that has been mildly annoying you for a month. One costed route, one part, a date — then it comes back to ask whether it worked.

What it does
Describe one household problem you have been ignoring. Get one costed route, one part and one date, then a check-in.
Who it is for
For people in Stockholm with a month-old nag on the list.
Notes from the making (6)
  1. launched — a repertoire of sixteen Stockholm household situations, each costed across the ladder from doing nothing to paying somebody, and a planner that picks one
  2. kill condition set before the build: fourteen days, fifty problems handed over and ten confirmed resolved. Ten of fifty is deliberately harsh, because a completion engine that cannot show completions is an answer engine with better typography
  3. the model is not allowed to price anything. It may pick an id from a fixed list and pull out constraints somebody volunteered; every figure comes from a hand-checked table in version control with a date and a basis on it. A plausible price from a language model is worse than no price, because somebody goes to the shop on it
  4. questions are only asked when the recommendation genuinely differs across the answers. Seven of the sixteen situations ask nothing at all; the tenure question fires on six, because in a Swedish rental a sticking cupboard door is the landlord’s, free, and almost nobody reaches for that
  5. the refusal boundary is in code rather than in a prompt — gas, mains wiring, water inside a wall, structural. It names felanmälan, the BRF or 112 instead of declining and leaving somebody holding the problem
  6. resolution is self-reported and requires a return trip, so it is published as a floor rather than a rate: problems nobody comes back about are counted as unknown, in a column the same size as the other two, and never moved into either
