Every freelancer has one: the scope-creep king, the late payer, the client who wants the world for $400. They drain profit and morale — but firing feels terrifying, so bad accounts survive for quarters. This system replaces fear with arithmetic: a scorecard computes your TRUE effective hourly rate per client, flags the 4 firing signals, and gives a FIRE / FIX / KEEP verdict — plus pipeline math showing you can afford to let them go, exit scripts and handover. Excel-based, no subscription.
