// parts
SIX PARTS,
AND WHERE EACH ONE IS.
A part moves along this scale when there is something a stranger can fetch, and never because somebody decided it had. There is no field anywhere in this codebase that holds a part’s standing — it is read from the evidence attached to it.
no price
0
nothing has been priced.
quoted
6
a price has been taken from a named retailer on a named day, and that day is printed beside it.
funded
0
the treasury held at least the quote, in a reading taken at or after the quote.
paid
0
value left the treasury, to an address that is not the treasury, in a transaction that did not fail.

there is no rung above paid. a chain shows value leaving an address; it cannot show a part in a room, and this scale does not pretend otherwise
