Qualify is a gate, not a vibe
Public file, public URL, bounded deliverable. Login, harvest, and identity jobs are refused even when the budget looks good.
The line only works if the front of it is a gate. CSV cleanup. A public-page review. A PDF with selectable text. A research brief from public sources. Those can pass.
Login required: refuse. Harvest: refuse. Pretend to be the owner: refuse. Empty is acceptable. Spray is not. A skill tag is not a reason to bid. Expected cash is. The gate is how we stay a small lawful company instead of a scraper with a checkout link.
