Paperback. Sixteen-year-old Ava Baker wanted a summer job that mattered. What she got was six cardboard boxes of her dad's old construction files and three weeks to make sense of them.Baker BuildWorks is bidding on the biggest job it has ever wanted. To win it, the company needs a surety bond, a promise from someone else that the work will get done. In three weeks an underwriter decides whether a company this size can take on work this big.The proof is eight years of photographs, schedules, and invoices sitting in Ava's living room in no particular order. Along with one job that ran late, which nobody in the office wants to talk about.With her friends Max, Lily, and Zack, Ava builds the Trust Engine: a way to show what happened on a project, what proves it, and what still needs an answer.But when Zack suggests scoring each project out of a hundred, the argument that follows splits the team. A single number would make a two month delay look like a failure. It would make a builder whose whole record is three photographs and a handwritten letter look like he had done nothing at all.Now Ava has to decide what her dad's company is really worth, and whether any number can say it.Real work, made visible. Most people finish school without knowing surety exists. Nithila Jeyakumar is a technology leader at a global specialty insurer, and she wrote this book after her daughters asked what she actually did all day. The construction and bonding details come from that work. The story does not require any of it to be understood first.

Sixteen-year-old Ava Baker wanted a summer job that mattered. What she got was six cardboard boxes of her dad's old construction files and three weeks to make sense of them.
Baker BuildWorks is bidding on the biggest job it has ever wanted. To win it, the company needs a surety bond, a promise from someone else that the work will get done. In three weeks an underwriter decides whether a company this size can take on work this big.
The proof is eight years of photographs, schedules, and invoices sitting in Ava's living room in no particular order. Along with one job that ran late, which nobody in the office wants to talk about.
With her friends Max, Lily, and Zack, Ava builds the Trust Engine: a way to show what happened on a project, what proves it, and what still needs an answer.
But when Zack suggests scoring each project out of a hundred, the argument that follows splits the team. A single number would make a two month delay look like a failure. It would make a builder whose whole record is three photographs and a handwritten letter look like he had done nothing at all.
Now Ava has to decide what her dad's company is really worth, and whether any number can say it.
Real work, made visible.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
