The Gig Bridge

First Month Checkpoint Card

Companion to "Your first month on the bridge."

Four weekly blocks, one card. Week starting dates first; check the lines as they clear. Do not compress week four: the fourth week is where the crossing starts.

Month starts		Primary plank
Far-bank course (from the map)		Second plank

Week 1: activation, week of

☐ Two-evening setup done, both evenings, in sequence
☐ Primary platform submitted first, secondary the same night
☐ Endorsement call done before trip one (driving planks)
☐ First paid hours taken, two to three small windows, logged on the index card
☐ Onboarding done, endorsement active, first payout received, mileage log running

Week 2: ratings and floors, week of

☐ Peak windows worked; accepted generously for the sample size
☐ First honest net hourly computed, both ledgers: $ / $
☐ Floor 1 written down: minimum net hour this plank must clear: $
☐ Floor 2 written down: weekly hours protected for the far bank:
☐ 20+ platform hours worked

If the first net number is ugly, that is data, not verdict. Adjust windows, planks, or offer filters.

Week 3: stacking and starting, week of

☐ Second plank added, multi-app or alternate days
☐ Set-aside executed on every payout, same day: ☐ 1st ☐ 2nd (without negotiation)
☐ Far-bank course opened; first module done in the protected hours

Week 4: stabilization and first crossing move, week of

☐ Bridge rhythm repeatable: known peaks, known floors, net hourly trusted within a dollar or two: $
☐ One direct far-bank move made: ☐ public profile with review screenshots ☐ first prospect list of ten names ☐ conversion-path study (where one exists) ☐ course-module action
☐ Set-aside funded through the month
☐ Bridge income stable; one far-bank action taken and logged

Planned contingencies

If a platform deactivates or suspends: appeal in-app immediately, lean on the second plank	Second plank:
If the far bank never starts: cut platform hours by five next week, not to zero	Hours this week: → next week:
