Your data collection was insightful[1] thank you for that.
All your caveats upfront on the quality of sampling is more than I have seen in many academic papers.
I don't have experience either as service provider or client to give a professionally informed comment here.
However having said that, sex work in general (even only in the United States) starts at lot less than 200-300$/hour in the lower end of the your study[2]. It is a great study and amazing subject testimony but it does only cover mid to high end of the spectrum.
As a basis for policy making covering the lower end of the spectrum and cover specifc policy issues and also cover other stakeholders like healthcare, law enforcement, welfare etc would be important.
I am sure there are lot more qualified people than me you are already in touch/working with, however I am happy to offer my help with statistics or code or lit review and publish formally /research proposal if you wish to go down that route.
[1] Your content, there are some parallels with how startups publish quality industry reports as a brand recognition strategy that I found very interesting.
[2] you have indicated the limitations in many places quite clearly am not finding faulting with your study .
