Many AI estimates are trained on broad patterns. They struggle when your work life includes details that are common around Gaithersburg:
- Structured schedules and fixed routes: If you’re on a shift with limited flexibility, even a short restriction can disrupt income and employment continuity.
- Overtime and variable hours: Some workers earn extra through scheduled overtime, seasonal workloads, or shift differentials that aren’t reflected in a simplified input.
- Long commutes and time sensitivity: When an injury affects your ability to travel safely or reliably, it can change how long you can work and how consistently you can attend treatment.
When these factors aren’t captured, a tool may suggest a range that’s too narrow—or too optimistic—because it can’t “see” the practical limits your job and daily routine impose.
