   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBarnaby Oyelowe-Smith advises on heritage and resilience. Barnaby, what do you see?

3. BO

   Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithHank, the data tells us the market has been damaged by fire, and that is a finding my team will bill you for.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou charge four thousand dollars an hour to say it burned.

5. BO

   Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithI charge four thousand an hour to say it burned with confidence.

6. BO

   Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithThe data tells us a market without a roof is, in a general sense, outdoors.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's been standing for four centuries. Cooks, chefs and tourists have all gone there.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat do you say to the people of that neighborhood this morning?

9. BO

   Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithI say the data tells us they are sad. I have a laminated page for that, the Flame Matrix, four quadrants.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFour quadrants.

11. BO

    Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithTop left, fire. Top right, also fire. Bottom left is loss, bottom right is a follow-up call with my firm.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the matrix is a fire, a fire, a loss and your phone number.

    Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithAnd the data tells us that is why clients come back. I started the clock when you said Paris, by the way.

15. BO

    Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithThe data tells us they should rebuild, ideally with food. And no, my Paris research was a travel blog and one very good croissant.

16. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOne croissant. For four thousand dollars an hour, that's an expensive croissant.

17. BO

    Barnaby Oyelowe-SmithHank, the data tells us you owe me eleven thousand dollars, and the invoice is already in your inbox.
