    {
      "question": "What is the best first project?",
      "answer": "Tutoring or homework support is often the cleanest first step because the client, time, location, and deliverable are easy for parents to understand."

    {
      "question": "Should I start a business account?",
      "answer": "Not at the first step. Start with a safe project plan and family approval. If projects become regular income, ask a qualified adult or professional about tax and paperwork."

      "question": "Can I use AI to help?",
      "answer": "Yes, but do not pretend AI work is fully yours if a client expects original work. Use AI for planning, drafts, translation checks, and formatting, then review carefully."
