Write the drop. Put it on the channel.

Five drops on the book. Scripts, captions, and a live channel. The public face of HELIX — who already pays, priced in public. Live Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 07:00 Chicago.

• Overnight RFQ

  live

  The buyer left at 18:00. The RFQs did not.

  Midwest discrete plants still lose the night shift to distributor list. A copilot that sits on the existing ERP — no new buying entity — keeps 1.8% of GMV. Past 2.1% already churned a plant. First thirty days: shadow-bid, then a 07:00 exception queue.

  Overnight RFQs still land. Distributors fill at list. Copilot take is 1.8% GMV — not a marketplace cut. Nocturne $149.

• Fleet parts

  live

  OEM list is a waiting room. The pool is a match.

  Regional LTL pays OEM plus downtime while a donor fleet two counties over has the kit. Pulse does not stock a shelf. Settlement nets weekly. Keep 4–6% on kits. eBay 13% is a consumer marketplace — do not copy it onto a fleet desk. Electronics fill is the honest gap.

  OEM backorder vs a shared pool. 4.6% on kits. Not eBay 13%. Pulse match card $79.

• Idle cash

  live

  Ten basis points is a rounding error until payroll week.

  Owner-operators leave operating cash in checking and call it conservative. A sweep utility is not advice and not a brokerage. Overnight into insured deposits, recalled for the calendar. Harbor writes the memo: sweep, hold, or factor — in bps. MTL maps still bind.

  Checking at 10 bp vs an overnight sweep. A memo, not advice. Harbor $59.

• Take rate

  live

  1.8% is the ceiling. 2.1% churned a plant.

  Take rate is a function of the job. Copilots keep under two percent of GMV. B2B pools that actually clear sit at 3–8%. Consumer marketplaces print 10–20% because they hold inventory and trust. Do not copy eBay onto a night-shift clerk. Price the job.

  1.8% GMV is sticky. 2.1% churned a plant. Price the job, not eBay. Desk $90.
