Freelancers struggle to accurately price projects due to insufficient client information and the complexity of calculating hourly rates that account for all business expenses.

Current pricing methods (hourly or project-based) fail because clients often don't provide enough information for accurate quotes, and calculating comprehensive hourly rates that include all business expenses is complex and time-consuming.
