com.cultureblocs.offer

Something a creative or a place offers, or needs, for a while: a recording engineer available for hire, off-peak rehearsal rates, a studio desk free for three months, 'looking for a drummer'. Separate from the profile because offers come and go. Pause and reopen an offer by changing `status` on the same record rather than deleting and recreating it, so links and history survive. Public by nature: carry links, never private contact details.
