There are some things that don’t work well from a freelancing perspective.

If you don’t have the rights to access company data, it’s hard to analyze it. But who gives rights to a freelancer?

If the thing you offer is not even worth a salary, can you sell it as a freelancer?

Or is it not even worth part of a full-time paycheck.

Yes, someone might need or want what you have to offer. But is your time worth enough to sell?
