Line against line, frame against frame
A rate line at $40-$90 per hour against a labor share at $450-$820 -- one visit, priced apart by frame line. The frames price the same visit apart -- Frame A prints an average line at $26 per square foot that Frame B never prints, and a clapboard row at $5-$10 per square foot where Frame B prints no clapboard row at all; Frame B prints priced readings at 200 square feet (vinyl at $400-$800, fiber cement at $800-$1,400, aluminum at $1,000-$1,400) that Frame A never prints; Frame B prints its fiber cement row at $3-$11 in its table and $3-$12 in its prose, an inside-frame difference standing as printed -- a frame difference, never averaged, never blended.
