Who hears about the work, and who is read first
One rule decides who a piece of work reaches, and one order decides how an owner reads the pitches. Both are written here, in plain words.
Everyone it fits hears at once
A brief reaches every maker it fits, at the same moment. Nobody hears first.

Your trade
A brief for a photographer reaches photographers; a dinner reaches chefs.
- 02 of 03
Your map
Only work where you live or travel, as your profile says.
- 03 of 03
Your terms and dates
A stay or a fee as you work, a fee that meets your day rate, and dates you are free.
Every brief has an answer window. The owner chooses once it ends or once everyone has answered, so the quickest reply never wins by speed.
Four things, in this order
The owner reads every pitch. This is only the order they are read in.
- 01 of 04
Fit of terms
A pitch whose terms fit the brief as written comes before one that does not.
- 02 of 04
Standing
How you keep your word: answering in time, delivering on time, work approved as delivered, the owners' stars.
- 03 of 04
Certified
Work and record checked by the desk come first among equals.
- 04 of 04
Turns among equals
Pitches close in standing count as equal and take turns at the top, brief by brief, so the same name is not always first.
Payment never ranks a pitch
The yearly membership pays for the seat, not for a place in the order. Premium, if it ever comes, never enters the order of pitches. There is no paid head start: every maker who fits can pitch at once.
Saying no is free
A brief that is not for you asks for one tap: Not for me. A no is an answer, and an answer in time counts for you, never against you. Only silence past the window and late work count against your standing.
New on Rouchelli, for 90 days
For 90 days after your approval, owners see New on Rouchelli on your pitch. One New pitch per brief may be lifted among the first an owner reads, so a good newcomer is seen. Until you have a standing, you are read as the network's average, never as zero.

What counts
Answers in time, work delivered by the agreed day, work approved without a change, the owners' stars, and certification.
- 02 of 03
When it counts
The last 12 months; the last 6 count fully, the 6 before count half.
- 03 of 03
When it shows
Only after 3 finished jobs, so one job never decides it. For now only the desk reads it.
