Gig workers cannot identify which clients are actually profitable after fees

Delivery drivers, rideshare workers, and platform-based freelancers do not know their true profit per job because they cannot easily calculate platform fees, surge/bonus conditions, and variable costs (gas, maintenance) at the point of decision. Spreadsheets are required to retrofit profitability analysis.
