Expert Q&A

Expert Q&A gives you one focused business or sourcing question answered in writing by a GEB expert.

You are stuck on one thing. A clause in a contract, a supplier answer that does not add up, a price that looks too good, a spec you are not sure how to write. It is too small for a project and too important to guess at.

So you post it in a sourcing group and get twenty free answers. Most come from people with something to sell you, and not one of them has read your contract, your spec or your quote. We read it. Send the question with the relevant document or figures, and a GEB expert who works in that area writes you a considered answer of 500–800 words: what to do, why, and the risk to watch. If a short call serves the question better, we offer one instead.

Price: $100 — fixed price. Turnaround: 2–3 working days.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — do this, do not do that, or get one more piece of information first — plus a confidence level and the risk that matters most. Not a data dump; a decision.

What you receive

• A written answer to 1 focused question, 500–800 words
• The reasoning behind it, so you can apply it next time
• The one risk to watch, named plainly
• A call of up to 15 minutes instead of the written answer, if that suits the question better
• A pointer to the right GEB product if the question turns out to be bigger

Best for

• One clear question you need answered properly
• Sense-checking a supplier claim, a quote or a contract clause
• A first, low-cost look at how GEB works

Not for: Not a review of a whole project or a full plan. This is commercial decision support, not a promise of a commercial outcome, and not a substitute for a lawyer, accountant or regulated adviser in your own country.

Does the fee come off the next product?

Expert Q&A points you to the Power Hour, and its fee can be credited toward that step.
