ANECDOTE

Camping Trip With Bear Encounters

Bill and Mills reminisce about a prior camping trip full of bear encounters that bonded the hosts.
They used the story to joke about forcing a reluctant colleague to join future trips.

INSIGHT

Distributed Low-Overhead Model

Disaster remediation can be operated as a distributed, low-overhead business coordinating subcontractors across multiple cities.
High reported margins likely come from owning demand and billing directly to building owners or insurers rather than owning heavy equipment.

INSIGHT

Value Is Speed And Paperwork

The core value is rapid mobilization and paperwork management, not owning machinery.
That lets a coordinator mark up subcontractor work and capture higher margins if demand and billing power exist.
