What good trade specialist work looks like

  • A written problem statement and one measurable outcome before work starts
  • A first phase you can stop after without losing the work
  • Named deliverables (a model, a playbook, a hiring plan), not 'support'

Red flags

  • Monthly retainers with no deliverable attached
  • Frameworks sold before anyone has looked at your numbers
  • A team that changes after the pitch

Questions

What does a trade specialist cost?

Guidance for business & operations work is $125–$250 an hour. Diagnostics $2k–$6k · projects $10k–$40k · fractional $4k–$12k/mo. Your brief gets an hours band and a budget check before anyone quotes.

Who answers a brief sent from TradeSpecialists.com?

The first verified consultant in this practice. Listings go live only after identity and portfolio checks, so nobody unverified sees your brief.

Do I pay to send a brief?

No. Sending a brief is free for clients. Consultants pay a published brief fee to respond, or you can pay for an exclusive brief that goes to one consultant only.

How is this different from a freelance marketplace?

Briefs are scoped before they are priced, consultants keep their engagement fee, and every number on the site comes from recorded events.
