A stoneware studio moved its stock out of a garage and discovered that the party choosing the carton was also, quietly, setting its prices.
A $2,600 leak, a $1,000 deductible and one phone call that became a permanent record: how ordinary paperwork settles the file-or-absorb decision before renewal does.
