    KEEL Works: 1 job today, Sep 30. DREAM (B405). When done, reply YES or use:
    keel-works.com/c/K7QM2XP4TD
    Reply STOP to opt out.
    What happens when I reply YES?

    With one open job, KEEL closes it and texts back that your payment is on its way. With two or three, KEEL texts a numbered list: reply 1, 2, or 12 if you did both. With four or more, KEEL texts a link to pick your boats. If you dive, a text reply closes the dive with no zinc report, so use the app.

The job is timed. Getting paid is the next guide.

These are the real screens. Anything in a box is exactly what you'll see.
