Using expert networks

A quick question related to using expert networks:

What expert networks are willing to do one-off / pay-as-you-go arrangements? From my time in consulting I'm familiar with GLG, Alphasights, Third Bridge, Guidepoint and Coleman. The best deal I've heard so far was 20 calls with rollover protection. Are there any cheaper networks out there that are willing to do one-offs?

FYI for anyone reading this post in the future - Guidepoint is able to provide a 15 credit minimum (~$1.2k per credit) for###-###-#### months, and Athenium offers pay-as-you-go (~$1.1k per call). Tegus has a very unique model. They offer at-cost expert calls ($###-###-#### ), and a subscription platform to review anonymized and compliance-approved transcripts of other investor-led calls conducted through Tegus. The subscription platform is a bit expensive (>$10k), but you can purchase calls on a pay-as-you-go basis. All information is as of the time of writing this post, of course.

Hi David, a bit late to respond but I just just joined the group this week. We (Zintro) have done 100+ projects with searchers over the last two years and a prominent member of the searcher community/professor in this group is on our board.

Our model is "only pay for completed interviews" and we don't require any subscriptions or credit minimums. Plenty of searchers have done a single###-###-#### min call.

Total cost for interviews is typically between $###-###-#### all in. We also apply a discount for searchers on a consistent basis.
