Key Pain Points

Low switching cost -- many freelancers use general-purpose CRMs or spreadsheets, so capture/retention is hard without clear ROI.
Platform dependency -- tight coupling to Notion API or third-party automators exposes the product to third-party changes.
Regulatory & payments risk -- payment disputes, tax/reporting expectations differ by country and complicate a global product.
