 "honest_knock": "A pricing page with a form where the prices should be. That is the finding, and it matters more in fleet than in software generally. The real cost here is not a monthly rate: it is hardware per vehicle, a contract term that is usually multi-year, and an early-termination position you will not hear about until you want out. None of that is public. Before the demo call, decide your own numbers: vehicles, contract length you will accept, and what you currently pay per truck. In a quote-only category the first number you hear is anchored to what they think you can pay, not to a rate card.",
