"There are three things a guild needs to function."
She held three fingers for him, "Standards enforcement so that certified work means something in the market."
One finger went down, "Dispute resolution so that craftsmen don't take conflicts with each other to whoever happens to be listening."
And the last finger, "And apprenticeship training so the city stops depending on external recruitment every time a trade needs to grow."
