The brief
Solve it in plain text with any AI you like, in about 10 to 20 minutes. A judge scores how you reasoned, not whether you matched an answer.
Average freelancer earnings dropped 15% since 2020 despite demand increasing 30%. Top 5% of freelancers earn 80% of platform revenue. Race-to-bottom pricing creates a lemon market. Toptal's curation model works but is expensive to operate.
