Good reviews can attract a project without producing retained income. Hua Ke may frame reputation, while Da Hao prompts a cost question; neither provides a loss percentage. Compare contract value, subcontracting cost, tax, and money received. A large slow-paying project and a smaller repeatable one can leave very different cash balances.
A reputable consultant can have large invoices and little cash if clients pay late. Follow the contract from delivery through payment before treating a project as retained income.
