## What you'll do
We're building a new web app that helps people hire freelancers. We want honest first-time feedback from someone playing the **client**: the person with a job to get done.

The practice copy is being finished now. We'll award once it's ready, and right after award you'll get a private link to your own **practice copy** of the app in chat. The freelancers in it are simulated, so no real jobs are posted and no money moves. Use a **desktop browser** (laptop or desktop, not a phone).

## The script (about 2 to 3 hours)
1. Start a project from your own one-line idea of something you'd want done.
2. Answer the questions the app asks you, then change one thing in the plan it proposes.
3. Post it.
4. Read the candidates and open a conversation with one.
5. Hire one.
6. When their draft arrives, send it back with notes.
7. Mark the final done and score it.
8. Pay and rate them.
9. Ask the app a question.
10. Try one thing the app wasn't built for: your choice.

## How to report
- **As you go:** every time something breaks, confuses you, or gives you an idea, use the app's bug button. One sentence is fine. More small reports beat a few long ones.
- **At the end:** upload a **one-page report** to your job page with:
- your **top 5 issues**, most important first
- **what you would change**
- **would you use it?** A score from 1 to 10, and why.

## Your freedom
You pick the project idea, the edits, the candidate, the notes and the off-script experiment. Be blunt. We'd rather hear "I had no idea what this button did" than polite praise. You don't need formal reproduction steps or recordings; clear, specific sentences are enough.

## How you'll be judged
- You completed or honestly attempted every script step.
- Your reports are specific: we can tell which screen or step you mean.
- Your top 5 and score reflect your own experience as a client, not generic advice.

Experience hiring freelancers as a client (on any platform) is a real plus: tell us about it.
