ORIJINS · EXPERT NETWORK

The world's expertise. Accessible to everyone.

For a century, the best minds on Earth have been reachable only by the wealthiest one percent. ORIJINS Expert breaks the gate. Pay-by-the-question. Pay-by-the-minute. GAIA-mediated, always-on, multilingual, and finally — affordable.

Expertise is a private club — and the door is locked.

Strategy. Medicine. Law. Engineering. Finance. The deepest knowledge in every domain has, for as long as anyone can remember, lived behind retainers, country-club introductions, and engagement letters most of the world never sees. The poor get search results. The rich get whisperers in their ear.

SMBs Who Get Strategy
Of the world's 400+ million small and medium businesses, fewer than 1 in 10,000 ever engage a top-tier strategy firm. The other 99.99% navigate by gut, anecdote, and free podcasts.

McKinsey Engagement
The average mid-size McKinsey project costs $200,000–$1.5M and delivers a deck. The information density of that deck is, often, lower than a focused 30-minute conversation with the right person.

Hours Billed to F500
Roughly 96% of senior expert hours globally are billed to Fortune 500 corporations and government clients. The world's actual problems — health, education, small business — receive the leftover 4%.

What if the world's best minds
were a question away?

— for everyone, not just the boardroom.

ORIJINS Expert Network — the world's experts, mediated by GAIA.

Thousands of vetted experts across 180 domains — strategy, oncology, antitrust, structural engineering, child psychology, cybersecurity, agronomy, you name it. GAIA is the front door. Humans are the depth. You pay only for what you need.

Vetted Expert Network

Every expert in the network is hand-verified — credentials, references, prior outcomes, and a public reputation score. Not a freelance marketplace. A curated trust layer.

// 4-stage vetting · public credentials

GAIA Expert Clones

With explicit consent and revenue share, experts can train a GAIA-mediated clone of their thinking — available 24/7 at a fraction of the cost. The expert keeps their nights. The world keeps the wisdom.

// consent-first · always revocable

Pay-Per-Question Pricing

Need a 90-second sanity check? Pay $4. Need a 45-minute deep dive on a deal? Pay $80. No retainers, no minimums, no engagement letters drafted by lawyers who bill by the hour.

// $0.50/min floor · transparent

Multi-Lingual Sessions

GAIA translates in real time across 100+ languages. A farmer in Burkina Faso talks to an agronomist in Iowa, in their own languages, without a translator in the loop. The expertise flows; the language doesn't matter.

// 100+ langs · sub-second latency

Knowledge Graph Index

Every consultation, with consent, contributes to a public knowledge graph — anonymized patterns of what worked, where, for whom. Your question stands on the shoulders of every question asked before it.

// open graph · privacy-preserving

Open Bios + Reviews

Every expert publishes a public bio, areas of strength, areas they refuse, hourly rate, and aggregated reviews from prior consultations. No more "warm introductions". The network is the introduction.

For the price of a single hour with a McKinsey partner, a small-business owner in Lagos can have 300 hours of GAIA-mediated expert advice — drawn from the same minds, vetted to the same standard. Knowledge stops being scarce when distribution stops being broken.

By 2050, every human on Earth has a trusted advisor.

Not a chatbot. Not a search engine. A network of vetted experts and their consent-trained clones, available in any language, at any hour, for any question, at a price anyone can pay.

Expertise becomes a public utility.
Every literate human on Earth has frictionless access to vetted human-grade expertise in their own language, at a price closer to the cost of clean water than to a luxury good. The gate is gone. The world thinks together.
