02
Use a 30-minute paid assessment
Agree a fixed payment in advance. Use fictional tasks that are not used as free customer work.
0–5 MINUTES: Read the fictional account brief and identify missing facts.
5–15 MINUTES: Draft replies to an orientation question, an unclear request and a billing escalation.
15–20 MINUTES: Correct one reply after the account facts change.
20–25 MINUTES: Write a handover for an unresolved case.
25–30 MINUTES: Explain what you would ask before sending.
ASSESS: factual accuracy, language clarity, use of boundaries, context preservation and reasoning.
DECISION: continue / more training / decline. Record evidence, pay as agreed and give concise feedback.
03
Compare a direct hire and an agency quote
Compare the same coverage and responsibilities. A commission headline does not specify a whole service.
DIRECT HIRE: paid hours + training + review + management + software
AGENCY: fixed fee + stated eligible revenue share + excluded work
MATCH: hours covered, languages, escalation ownership, review responsibility
ASK: named service owner, replacement process, subcontracting, account access, reporting and termination
VERIFY: two relevant references with consent; a small paid trial; the written invoice base
DO NOT ASSUME: guaranteed sales, 24/7 dedicated staffing or transferable candidate ownership
Use the calculator with your actual quote rather than treating its defaults as market rates.
These are illustrative planning scenarios, not reports of vendor tests or customer outcomes. Adapt the examples to an account you are authorised to operate. Use the field guide for the underlying method and the interactive tool for your own inputs.
Two candidates have different fixed fees and percentage rates.
Work through it
Calculate each bill with the same low sales base, including review time and any minimum charge.
What to check
Identify the cost you owe even when attributed sales are zero.
02
THE SITUATION
A month above a pricing threshold
A provider changes its rate or credit allowance at a stated usage level.
Work through it
Create one scenario just below and one just above the threshold. Apply the actual tier rule, which may charge only the excess or recalculate the whole base.
What to check
Ask for a worked invoice if the quote does not make the rule clear.
03
THE SITUATION
The attribution dispute
A sale follows both a human conversation and an automated message.
Work through it
Ask which event makes the sale billable, how long attribution lasts and where the invoice exposes that event.
What to check
Write down the dispute and refund process before accepting a percentage model.
YOUR WORKING DOCUMENT
Keep the decision with the evidence.
Use the plain-text worksheet in your own approved system. It contains headings only, so you control which information is recorded and where it is stored. Nothing entered in a downloaded file is returned to this publication.

Common mistakes to avoid
Comparing 5% of net with 5% of gross as if they were identical.
Treating the break-even output as a revenue prediction.
Leaving a minimum fee or a second per-account subscription out of the equation.
Before implementing a workflow, confirm that it is supported by the chosen product and permitted under current platform rules. A planning example does not establish either. OnlyFans terms.
