The expert-hiring market is moving from access to judgment
The first wave of expert marketplaces solved access: find someone with a title, pay for time, and ask questions. In 2027 the harder problem is judgment. Buyers are surrounded by AI summaries, forum threads, templates, and freelancer listings. What they need from a human expert is not another explanation. They need a professional who can interpret facts, identify missing context, and say what matters for the decision in front of them.
