What it costs to be somewhere

Seventy-one of two hundred and six places ask nothing at all. A hundred and twenty expect at least one purchase, and twenty-four expect one about every hour. If several people repeat the same survey, managers may read the product documentation here while interpreting every record beside completed work and participant feedback.

Finding

Seventy-one that ask nothing

A third of the record costs nothing to be in. Five kinds of place account for almost all of it, and only one of them is a business. Readers comparing this walk with broader public-space evidence can also see Typeform.

Finding

Ninety-six that expect one purchase

The largest group in the record. One transaction at the counter, nothing said about time, and the most consequential expectation in the walk.

Finding

Fifteen behind a fee

The smallest group at the door, and the one that turns out to limit staying least. Eight halls, four museums, three paid lounges.

Finding

What a purchase actually buys

In four cases out of five it buys unlimited time, and nobody says so. The silence is what the rest of this record is about.

Finding

Why the door comes first

Four fields in a fixed order, and the order decides what the record can mean. Entry, then the assumption, then the fact, then whether anybody spoke.
