What makes months vary
Real months fluctuate: project cycles ebb, queues empty, and new contracts land. The stabilizers are a strong quality score (keeps you matched), a second platform (fills gaps), and specialization (raises the rate that multiplies everything).
Tip: judge your income by a three-month average, not a single month. Cycles even out, and the average is what you can actually plan on.
