OneForma Fred job 12794 ↗

Why

Decision

Operator authority — Fred only; stop at pre-apply qual gates.

Why now

Access proven; next uncertainty is earning after first hits.

Cost

Time	Money	Attention
~2 min to first block	$0	low

01What We Believed

Hypothesis

After ACCESS_OK, a ≤30 min Fred Annotation (Chinese Traditional TW, $10/hr) sample produces a measurable effective hourly or a clear unpaid-qual block.

Prediction

{
  "expected": "≥1 submitted unit OR QUAL_BLOCKED with taxonomy",
  "confidence": 0.5
}

Success criteria

elapsed_minutes recorded
tasks_completed or block_point recorded

Action

Open Fred apply; record pre-check blockers without looping other jobs.

02What Reality Said

  "status": "QUAL_BLOCKED",
  "elapsed_minutes": 2,

  "blockers": [

    "Phone number not verified. Verification is required to apply.",
    "You need to complete and pass your identify verification before submitting job applications."

03What Changed

Learning

ACCESS_OK (see tasks) ≠ APPLY_OK. Job browse and job apply have different gates. TTF for first paid hit must include resume + phone OTP + IDV — same class as LEARNING-001 access friction, one layer deeper.

Reality

Believed dashboard opportunities were startable. Reality: Fred requires three profile verifications before Apply. Next: clear gates once, then retime earning sample.
