## What to fix first
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 262-424-3121, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 6022433771. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **8 prices on the landing page, the middle one $13.00.** In Phoenix, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $11.99.
