A Repairability Credit Printed on Every Quote
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities interviews 19 technicians at 16 shopping-centre phone-repair kiosks and follows 1,847 cracked-screen quotes for 28 days, finding 71.4% never return, then specifies a Repairability Credit printed on every quote so a circular-economy dashboard can be steered from credits issued rather than screens replaced.
