Land kept open, in writing, permanently.

Serving

Montpelier, Vermont; working with landowners across Washington and Orange counties

What makes them different

We monitor every easement we hold, every year, and we publish what the visit found. We will also tell a landowner when an easement is the wrong instrument for what they are trying to do, which costs us projects and is the reason people trust us.

Ideal customers

Landowners weighing an easement, farm families working out succession, town conservation commissions, donors who fund the stewardship endowment, and the estate attorneys who send us their clients.

Preferred style

One menu a week, written on Tuesday.

Serving

Asheville, North Carolina; on Haywood Road in West Asheville

What makes them different

The menu is written after the delivery instead of before it. We publish the four courses on Tuesday night, and we say plainly which of them we can adapt and which we cannot.

Ideal customers

Locals marking something; visitors who book before they travel; people with allergies or restrictions who would rather be asked in advance than apologised to at the table; small private parties taking the whole room.

Preferred style

A bouldering gym in an old drop forge.

Serving

Providence, Rhode Island; Valley Street, in the old forge building

What makes them different

The reset rotation is published. Every section has a date on it, so you always know what changed and when. And we are bouldering only - no ropes, no belay test, no partner needed to walk in and climb.

Ideal customers

First-time climbers; students from the colleges up the hill; experienced boulderers who care about how the setting is; parents booking youth programmes; people who want a day pass before they commit to anything.

Preferred style

Where the line actually is.

Serving

Boise, Idaho; working across Ada, Canyon, and Boise counties

What makes them different

We tell you which survey you actually need before we quote it. Most people who ring up asking for an ALTA do not need one, and most people asking for a quick stake need considerably more than that.

Ideal customers

Homeowners about to build a fence or arguing about one; custom builders; civil engineers; title companies clearing a transaction; developers platting ground; attorneys who need a record of survey.

Family and employment immigration, explained before it is filed.

Serving

Houston, Texas; clients across Texas and, for federal matters, nationwide

What makes them different

The fee is fixed, stated in writing, and published on the site. Every matter starts with the checklist of what the government will ask for, so the work of gathering documents starts on day one instead of month three.

Ideal customers

Families petitioning for a relative; employers sponsoring a hire; permanent residents applying for citizenship; anyone who has just opened a request for evidence and does not know what it means; students changing status.

One lawyer, four documents, a fixed price.

Serving

Portland, Maine; clients across Cumberland and York counties

What makes them different

A fixed price agreed before I start, and you deal with me from the first call to the signing. I also cap how many estates I take a month, which means I sometimes tell people to come back in six weeks rather than rushing their documents.

Ideal customers

People who have just had a child, bought a house, been diagnosed with something, or lost a parent. Families sorting out an estate with no will. Anyone who has been putting this off for a decade and finally cannot.

Closed to new clients from January to April, every year.

Serving

Des Moines, Iowa; most clients work with me remotely

What makes them different

I publish when I am open and when I am not. From January to April I am filing and I take no new clients at all, which annoys people in February and is the reason my existing clients get their returns on time.

Ideal customers

Freelancers who have outgrown a spreadsheet, contractors with subcontractors to pay, small partnerships, and people who have just had a nasty first year of self-employment tax.

Every dollar that leaves your proceeds, listed before you sign.

Serving

Santa Fe, New Mexico; the city and the surrounding county

What makes them different

I publish the whole closing cost sheet - including my own commission - before anyone signs a listing agreement. Sellers are routinely shocked at closing, and there is no reason for that to be a surprise.

Ideal customers

Sellers who have owned the house twenty years and have no idea what closing costs, buyers moving here from out of state, and people who have been passed to an assistant by a large team and did not enjoy it.

One therapist, a waiting list, and no crisis service.

Serving

Minneapolis, Minnesota; in person and by video across the state

What makes them different

I keep a real waiting list and I publish how long it is. A therapist who is always available is either new or not being straight with you, and finding out after you have worked up to writing is a bad first experience.

Ideal customers

Adults who have been meaning to start for a year, people in a job that is eating them, anyone grieving, and people who have tried therapy before and did not get on with it.

Drawings, in five phases, by the person who drew them.

Serving

Bellingham, Washington; projects across Whatcom and Skagit counties

What makes them different

Fees are quoted per phase, so you can stop after any one of them and still own something useful. Most people who ring me have been quoted a single percentage of a construction cost that does not exist yet.

Ideal customers

People building or heavily remodelling their own house, owners of older homes with an awkward plan, and small developers who want two or three good houses rather than twenty ordinary ones.

The rate is the rate. It is printed on the wall.

Serving

Cedar Rapids, Iowa; delivery across Linn, Benton, and Jones counties

What makes them different

Every rate is published, including the delivery charge, the fuel policy, and the damage waiver. Nobody has to ring for a price. We also say on the website when a machine is already out, so people stop driving here to find an empty bay.

Ideal customers

Row-crop farmers who need a second tractor for three weeks. Small contractors between machines. Homeowners with a stump, a driveway, or a move. People whose own machine has broken down in the middle of a job.

We clean the building twice. The second one is the one you sign off.

Serving

Phoenix, Arizona; jobs across Maricopa County

What makes them different

A written scope per phase, so nobody argues at handover about whether the window tracks were included. We publish the checklist we work to, item by item, before the bid is signed.

Ideal customers

General contractors on commercial fit-outs. Property managers with a tenant moving in on Monday. Clinics and dental practices that need a nightly crew who understand what they cannot touch.

Everything under thirty dollars, and why.

Serving

Portland, Oregon; Woodstock neighborhood, walk-in and local delivery

What makes them different

Every bottle has a handwritten card saying what it tastes like and what to eat with it, and the cards are on the website too. We also publish what we are out of, which sounds trivial and saves people a walk.

Ideal customers

People buying a bottle for tonight. Neighbours who want something better than the grocery store without a lecture. Cooks who need one specific thing for a recipe. Anyone who has been made to feel stupid in a wine shop.

Dropped by nine, folded by five, priced by the pound.

Serving

Minneapolis, Minnesota; Seward and Longfellow, with pickup routes on weekdays

What makes them different

The turnaround is a promise with a time on it rather than a vague next day, and the route days are published per street. We also weigh and price in front of you at drop-off, so nobody is surprised at pickup.

Ideal customers

Households without a machine. Parents of small children. Restaurant and salon staff with linens and towels. Students. Older neighbours who can no longer manage a basket down a flight of stairs.

Four grains, one mill, milled the week you buy it.

Serving

Northfield, Minnesota; farm store on site, wholesale across the Twin Cities

What makes them different

Every sack is dated with the milling date, and the website says which grain is being milled which week. Flour is a perishable product and almost nobody treats it as one.

Ideal customers

Bakeries buying fifty pound sacks. Home bakers who have worked out that supermarket flour is a year old. Restaurants doing their own bread. Brewers and distillers for the rye.

Every switch still works. That is the whole design brief.

Serving

Seattle, Washington; installs across King and Snohomish counties

What makes them different

Local control first. If our servers vanished and the company closed tomorrow, your house would still light and heat itself from the wall. We publish which of our supported devices depend on a cloud and which do not.

Ideal customers

Households part-way through a renovation. People who bought a house full of somebody else's abandoned smart devices. Parents who want one thing to work rather than nine apps. Older clients whose main requirement is that a light comes on when you press the switch.

What makes them different

We measure both feet, in the afternoon, standing, and we will tell you not to buy a shoe we stock if it is the wrong shape for you. And every pair on the wall has its resole price next to its purchase price.

Ideal customers

People on their feet all day. Anyone with two feet of different sizes, which is most people. Customers replacing a pair they wore for a decade. People who have given up on buying shoes online.

Nine garments. We make them until they stop selling.

Serving

Portland, Oregon; a shop and a cutting room on Mississippi Avenue

What makes them different

Nine garments, permanently, in sizes from XS to 5XL cut on their own patterns rather than graded up from a small. We publish the fabric, the mill's country, and the cost breakdown of every piece.

Ideal customers

People who wear the same four things and want better versions of them. Customers sized out of standard ranges. Anyone tired of buying a garment twice because the second one was made somewhere else.

A sleep app that ends. Eight weeks, then you stop paying.

Serving

San Francisco, California; the product is used anywhere

What makes them different

It ends. Everything in this category is built to retain you and we are built to discharge you, which is the opposite business model and the reason people trust it. We also do not sell or share any data, and there are no ads.

Ideal customers

Adults with months or years of poor sleep who have already tried the obvious things. Shift workers. New parents past the newborn stage. People who have been offered medication and want to try something structured first.

What makes them different

The full price list is published - hook fee, per mile, after hours, winching, storage per day, and the cancellation fee - so the number is known before the truck moves. Nobody in this trade publishes storage rates and it is where people get hurt.

Most trees do not need to come down. Here is how to tell.

Serving

Portland, Oregon; the east side and inner suburbs

What makes them different

We publish a plain assessment of what actually makes a tree hazardous - and it is a short list - so people can look at their own tree before they ring anybody. Half the trees we are called about do not need work, and we say so on site.

Ideal customers

Homeowners with a large mature tree they are worried about. People sent a scare letter by a door-knocking crew after a windstorm. Neighbours in a dispute about a shared tree. Property managers with street trees.
