My JSS dropped — can the audit help me recover it?

Partially. JSS is driven by client outcomes (private feedback, contract closure mode, dispute history) more than profile copy — so I can’t directly raise it. But the audit can stop the bleeding by:

• Identifying which job categories you’re winning that you shouldn’t (wrong-fit jobs are the #1 JSS killer)
• Tightening niche so the next 5 contracts are higher-fit
• Adjusting rate so you attract clients who close contracts cleanly (very-low-rate clients dispute more)
• Cleaning up portfolio so the right clients self-select in

If your JSS dropped from a single bad client, JSS will drift back up over 6 contracts even without changes. The audit is for systemic fixes, not bandage on a one-off.
