Use the result well

A clear answer, with the assumptions visible

These recommendations turn the result into an operational next step without hiding the inputs behind a score.

  1. 1

    Match offers by service, duration, provider, location, and client availability before messaging.

  2. 2

    Use short claim windows and show live availability so multiple clients are not promised the same opening.

  3. 3

    The eligible list is large enough for a practical fill chance at the entered response rate.

How this tool works

  1. Estimate the chance at least one eligible client accepts an opening.
  2. Cap recovery at the number of real openings.
  3. Subtract operating cost to show net recovered value.
