Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most about sessions, payments, and verification.

Do I need an account to look for a consultant?

No. Searching by specialty, checking availability, and reading a consultant's profile never requires signing up. An account only comes into play when you book or message.

How are consultants verified?

Identity and credential verification for everyone, plus an actual license-number lookup against the relevant source for regulated categories — legal, medical, financial. Nothing goes live on a pending review. See how verification works.

Why aren't I, as a client, verified the same way?

Because the consultant is the trusted party giving advice in a live session — that's where the real liability sits. Requiring the same document-heavy check just to book a session would undo the whole point of a low-friction, open-browse marketplace. See why we verify.

What kind of consultants are on ExpertiseGrid?

Any category a consultant self-registers under, not a fixed list — legal, financial, and tax advisors; teachers, tutors, and exam coaches; career, business, and fitness coaches, and more. Regulated categories carry the added license check above.

How does a session actually work?

Live video and secure document sharing happen inside ExpertiseGrid itself — no separate meeting link, no emailing files back and forth. Built from day one for clients and consultants in different time zones.

How does payment work?

Every session runs through a licensed split-payment processor. ExpertiseGrid never holds client or consultant funds at any point.

What happens if my verification is rejected?

You can resubmit corrected information, or appeal to human review if you think it was a mistake — see if you're rejected.

What data does ExpertiseGrid keep on me?

See your data for the plain-language summary, and the Privacy Policy for the full policy, including country-specific detail for where you're located.
