What ever happened to coop competition? Where are the sports like, “who can build a house the fastest?”, or “let’s see who can build the strongest bridge”. It’s all useless shit these days, like, “who can put an inflatable ball in a special place while others try to stop them?” that does nothing for anyone.
My naive understanding of things says this is what construction companies are for. Pay the one that does the best work the fastest. It already exists, just not in publicized easy-to-judge ways. Of course, perverse incentives and corruption as well as just “work expands to fill the time allotted” and genuine roadblocks in progress and complex stuff I do not 100% know because I do not work at a construction company but am vaguely aware exists because of adult cynicism plays a part too…
