The 4-step verification process

  1. Verified LinkedIn URL. Every practitioner submits a URL that resolves to a complete, current LinkedIn profile. We require a valid linkedin.com/in/ format and match the profile to the application name.
  2. Employment & topic match. We review the practitioner's history against the topics they're applying to advise on. Generalists are declined; we approve specific role/topic combinations.
  3. Reference checks. Two references from prior colleagues, counterparties, or customers. Both are contacted before approval.
  4. Ongoing quality bar. Every answer is rated. Practitioners below threshold lose topic eligibility automatically.

Sample: question → answer flow

1. Question submitted

"We're a Series A B2B SaaS evaluating a move from PLG self-serve to a founder-led sales motion. What are the top three operational mistakes teams make in the first 90 days of that transition?"

2. Routed to verified practitioners

OpenIQ matches the question to practitioners with documented Series A → B PLG-to-sales transitions in their employment history. Three to five are notified within minutes.

3. Async answers collected (typically 1–4 hours)

Each practitioner submits a written response. We don't run scheduled calls — answers are textual and citable.

4. AI-curated synthesis

OpenIQ deduplicates overlapping points, surfaces disagreement explicitly, and produces a single brief with named practitioner attribution where each contributor consented to it.

5. Delivered to your inbox or dashboard

You get one brief, not three transcripts. You can request follow-ups on any thread inline.

Frequently asked

What does OpenIQ verify?

Identity (via verified LinkedIn URL), employment history, topic-specific track record, and references from prior colleagues or counterparties.

What happens if an answer is wrong or low-quality?

Every answer is rated. Practitioners below a quality bar are removed from topic eligibility. You can also request a re-answer at no additional cost if a brief misses the question.

Do practitioners see who is asking?

By default no — questions are anonymized to the asker's company and role band. Institutional teams can configure stricter or looser disclosure based on compliance posture.

Can I see a sample answer before subscribing?

Yes — request a sample brief during early access and we'll send a redacted real-world example in your topic area.
