Verdict Advise™ · For Advisers

You’ve run the function. Get paid to run it — anywhere.

Founders on Verdict™ know exactly which gaps are holding them back. Your clients can be anywhere — Singapore, London, Sydney, Dubai — and so can you. You bring the expertise; we handle the match, scheduling, and cross-border payment. Free to join from anywhere. Keep 70% of every fee.

Who Verdict Advise™ is for

You’ve run the function — CFO, sales, growth, ops. You want matched clients, not another business to sell.

Founders come to you already diagnosed — they know the exact gap you fix. You bring the expertise; we bring the client, the schedule, and the payment.

The reality

You’re paid for the work. Everything around it is unpaid.

The expertise was never the problem. Finding the clients, running the admin, and breaking your local rate — that’s the real tax on going independent.

Deal flow
You’re great at the work, not at selling it.

Feast or famine. The months you deliver are the months you don’t sell — so the pipeline dries up the moment you finish.

Admin
The work pays. The admin doesn’t.

Scheduling, contracts, invoicing, chasing late payment across borders — unbillable hours that eat the margin you went independent for.

Rate ceiling
Your postcode caps your rate.

The same expertise, priced to the local market — with no line to the well-capitalised founders abroad who’d pay what it’s worth.

The fix

Verdict Advise™ takes the tax off.

Deal flow
Matched, not marketed.

Founders arrive already diagnosed by their PitchScore™ gap — you’re matched to the ones who need exactly what you do. No cold outreach, no proposals, no geography filter.

Admin
We run the back office.

Scheduling, contracts, invoicing, and cross-border payment — all handled. You keep 70% of every fee, paid on the 15th. You do the work; we do the rest.

Rate ceiling
Price in USD, worldwide.

Serve founders in well-capitalised markets and price to the work, not your postcode. Emerging-market specialists typically earn 3–7× their local equivalent for the same expertise.

What founders see on your profile

Your profile is your marketplace storefront.

Every 60-min session earns a client review. Reviews build your star rating, your social proof, and your eligibility for tier promotion. Founders message you directly — and see your response time before they book.

The Vetted standard

Before any specialist profile goes live, we verify identity, confirm at least 3 years of documented operating experience in the claimed specialism, and review a sample of prior work. Vetted is the baseline — it means the person you're reading about has actually done the work. Silver, Gold, and Platinum are performance tiers earned after joining: completed sessions and client ratings determine where you sit.

Earnings calculator

What could you earn?

This is illustrative — your fees and mix are yours to set.

How the calculator works — terms defined
Advise™ session — A one-off paid engagement you design. A founder books you for a diagnostic, workshop, or focused sprint. You set the price; Verdict™ handles scheduling, payment, and the booking interface. One booking = one session fee.
Fractional engagement — An ongoing monthly arrangement where you act as a part-time function lead — fractional CFO, CMO, head of sales, or similar. You agree a monthly retainer with the founder; Verdict™ handles the contract and invoicing.
Keep rate (70%) — Your share of every fee after Verdict™’s 30% platform take. The 30% covers matching, scheduling, payment processing, and contract handling. Your keep rate is identical on both sessions and fractional retainers, and does not change between Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Referral commission — A separate, compounding income stream. When you refer a founder who joins Verdict™ as a paying subscriber, you earn a percentage of their monthly platform fee every month they stay active. This is not deducted from any fee the founder pays you — it comes from Verdict™’s own subscription revenue. Higher tiers earn a higher rate (20% → 25% → 30%) because priority matching generates higher-quality, longer-retaining referrals.
Priority matching — When a founder’s profile matches multiple specialists, Verdict™’s algorithm surfaces higher-tier specialists first. Gold gets 5+ matched referrals per month on a priority queue; Platinum gets unlimited matches at the top of the list.
Featured specialist profile — Gold and Platinum specialists get a promoted Verdict™ profile, surfaced to a founder the moment they’re matched to expert help. Silver profiles appear in matches but aren’t promoted.
Co-branded session programme — Platinum only. Verdict™ co-markets a named programme under your name and brand — for example, “Cash Flow Clarity: a 4-week CFO sprint with [Your Name]” — to its active founder base. Verdict™ designs and runs the marketing; you design the programme content.

Questions

Before you apply

Is it really free to join?

Yes. Silver has no monthly fee — you join, get matched to founders, take clients, and keep 70% of every fee. Verdict™ only earns when you do, through the 30% service take. Gold and Platinum are optional upgrades that buy priority and volume once you want more deal flow.

How does the application work?

You apply through a short form. We verify your identity, confirm your operating experience, and review your specialism before your profile goes live. If it’s a fit, setup takes under a week. Credentials matter less than a documented record of doing the work.

What does "Vetted" mean?

Every specialist on Verdict™ passes three checks before their profile is published: (1) verified identity — government-issued ID confirmed; (2) verified track record — at least 3 years of documented operating experience in the specialism they list; and (3) Verdict™ human review — a team member reviews the application and approves it. Approved advisers sign an Adviser Agreement before going live. Vetted is the platform baseline — it applies to every Silver, Gold, and Platinum specialist. The tiers above it reflect performance earned on the platform through completed sessions and client ratings, not a higher standard of vetting.

When and how do I get paid?

You keep 70% of every session and fractional fee, plus your tier’s referral commission on platform revenue from founders you bring in. Payouts land on the 15th of each month for the prior month. We invoice the client and chase late payment — you don’t.

Are specialists exclusive to Verdict™?

No. You keep your own practice and clients. Verdict™ is an additional, matched channel — work the founders we send you, decline the ones you can’t take, and keep everything else you do elsewhere.

When is Gold or Platinum worth it?

When free Silver flow isn’t enough and you want more. Gold and Platinum buy priority placement, higher matched-referral volume, and a higher referral commission. Start free, upgrade only when the deal flow justifies it.

How does Verdict™ evaluate and promote specialists?

After every 60-min session or fractional engagement, your client leaves a star rating and a written review — both visible on your public profile. Your score is calculated on a trailing 90-day basis, so recent performance is what counts.

Tier promotion is merit-based and uses two thresholds:

Silver → Gold: 15 completed sessions + 4.5+ rating Gold → Platinum: 40 completed sessions + 4.7+ rating

If your rating drops below your tier's floor, you have a 30-day grace window to bring it back before any downward adjustment is made. We audit all specialist profiles quarterly — specialists who can't sustain the quality the platform is built on are removed. There is no shortcut to tier promotion and no manual override; the rating and session count are the record.

Can I join from Indonesia, Vietnam, or other markets outside Singapore?

Yes. Verdict Advise™ is a remote-first marketplace. Advisers join from Singapore, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Brazil, the UK, Australia, and beyond — and serve clients globally. What we vet is your operating track record, not your location. Emerging market specialists who price in USD typically earn 3–7× the local market equivalent for the same expertise — a genuine income step-change. Founders from well-capitalised markets actively seek the value that cross-border talent delivers.
