3 Things Global ENS Platforms Don't Have That Brainconnect AI Does
Why Brainconnect AI Is a Differentiated ENS
In our previous post, we discussed the '3 things Brainconnect AI doesn't have.'
No mandatory Retainer Deposit, no deposit expiration, and no minimum hour requirements. Simply removing these inconvenient barriers that have existed for decades generated significant interest.
But eliminating the inconveniences of existing services isn't enough.
What really matters is answering the question: "So what makes it better?"
This post covers the '4 things Brainconnect AI has.' Beyond removing friction, these are key differentiators that drive greater project success.
Every Project Has Different Budget Needs—Why Force One-Size-Fits-All Pricing?
Card Payment for Spot Deals, Prepaid for Regular Projects
"This Deal only requires checking one or two things quickly, but the contract, invoicing process... that alone takes days."
If you work at a consulting firm, you've experienced this. A client makes an urgent request, but you're held back by the ENS contracting process.
Private Equity Deal teams face the same issue. In competitive bidding situations where you need critical information by tomorrow, hearing "Please sign a deposit contract first" is incredibly frustrating.
Brainconnect AI lets you choose based on your project type.
For spot projects requiring just one or two interviews, use per-transaction card payment to start immediately. Expert Recruitment begins as soon as payment is processed, and tax invoices are issued automatically. No complex processes like contract signing, approval workflows, or legal reviews.
For regular projects with consistent quarterly usage, prepaid is advantageous.
Prepay and receive discounted per-interview rates with no expiration concerns, so you can use your credits whenever you need them, without pressure.
Large consulting firms conducting dozens of interviews annually can maximize budget efficiency with prepaid, while boutique firms, mid-sized PE funds, or corporate M&A and new business development teams conducting a few interviews per quarter can start easily with per-transaction payment.
Affordable for Practitioners, Reasonable for C-Level
"I'm just asking minor questions to a 7-year practitioner—why do I have to pay the same premium rate as for an executive?"
Another inconvenience of traditional ENS platforms. Uniform pricing regardless of expert seniority or experience is common. Seeking strategic advice from a CFO versus fact-checking with a practitioner clearly provide different value.
Brainconnect AI applies tiered pricing based on expert level.
Practitioner-level experts are significantly more cost-effective, allowing you to meet multiple experts affordably, while C-level or executive experts are priced reasonably—at a fraction of the traditional cost compared to global ENS platforms.
A consulting firm project manager shared:
"To understand the acquisition target's organizational culture, I interviewed 5 practitioners for 20 minutes each at an affordable rate. With the savings compared to traditional ENS, I added a 1-hour in-depth interview with a former CFO and identified financial risks in advance."
This approach allows you to save budget while gathering even more intelligence.
Start with 20-Minute Short Interviews
"I just need to confirm the main clients with this company's former sales director..."
M&A Due Diligence (DD) often involves such moments. Some strategic questions require 1-hour in-depth interviews, but some fact-checks need only 20-30 minutes. Yet traditional ENS platforms charge for a minimum 1 hour at premium rates.
Brainconnect AI enables Short Interviews starting from 20 minutes.
Projects requiring stakeholder input from across the country, research needing practitioner perspectives from multiple departments, verification work requiring quick fact-checking—in these cases, 20-minute Short Interviews are far more efficient.
Consider this real case. A Private Equity (PE) fund needed to understand distribution status across five regions in Korea. They conducted 20-minute interviews with regional distribution managers to identify regional characteristics and key trading partners at a fraction of traditional costs.
The traditional approach would have been prohibitively expensive. With significant savings, they conducted additional interviews to secure richer information.
Flexibly Combine According to Project Needs
The real strength of 20-minute Short Interviews is flexibility. You can secure more perspectives with the same budget and flexibly customize interview lengths based on your needs.
Another case involved a project requiring understanding of an acquisition target's internal situation. Three 20-minute interviews with former executives to understand management perspective; five 30-minute interviews with current practitioners to verify operational status; one 1-hour in-depth interview with the former CEO to validate strategic direction. They secured multi-layered perspectives from 9 people at a reasonable total cost.
With uniform 1-hour interviews, this project would have been cost-prohibitive. The project might have been cancelled altogether.
Brainconnect AI makes it different. This flexibility turns potential roadblocks into opportunities.
The AI Era—But Why People Still Matter
AI Alone Is Inadequate, People Alone Are Too Slow
"A junior consultant did research, but the content and sources were questionable. Turns out they just asked ChatGPT. Does it make sense to casually use ChatGPT for a report worth hundreds of millions of won?"
This actually happened recently at a consulting firm. Pressed for time, they reported AI-generated market data directly to the client, only to later discover the figures were completely fabricated. Trust was lost in an instant.
But verifying everything with people alone takes too long.
Finding candidates on LinkedIn, verifying their professional experience item by item, locating contact information, confirming interview availability—this alone takes days.
For urgent Deals, it's a critical waste of time.
Brainconnect AI combines the strengths of AI and people.
First Verification: AI Rapidly Screens Tens of Thousands of Experts
First, AI identifies candidates from a vast database.
It cross-verifies LinkedIn careers, fact-checks tenure and titles, and automatically scores fit with project requirements. AI completes in hours what would take people days.
Second Verification: Professional Researchers Confirm Accurately
But it doesn't end there. Professional researchers directly verify AI-suggested candidates.
They actually contact candidates by phone or message to confirm interview willingness, pre-brief on expertise areas and expected discussion points, and coordinate precise interview schedules in real-time.
When AI suggests "this person seems suitable," our researchers guarantee "this person is the right fit."
Result: Recruitment Failure Rate Virtually 0%
The result of this dual verification system is clear. 'Recruitment failure' is virtually non-existent.
Common situations with traditional ENS—receiving notice on interview day that "the expert couldn't schedule it," or discovering during the interview that expertise falls short of expectations—don't occur at Brainconnect.
AI Features Built Into the Platform
Beyond the dual verification system, Brainconnect utilizes AI throughout the entire project process.
Interviews integrate with Google Meet for automatic recording, with AI performing real-time note-taking. When a 1-hour interview ends, meeting minutes with key points organized are automatically generated. Just focus on the interview. You won't miss important moments while taking notes.
Our AI-powered notification system integrates with popular messaging apps (like KakaoTalk in Korea). When experts apply for interviews, notifications are sent immediately; when interview schedules are confirmed, they're automatically registered in calendars; 1 hour before interviews, reminders are sent. No need to worry about schedule management.
Translation/interpretation services are also in development. When interviewing global experts, AI will provide real-time interpretation. You'll be able to utilize our 47-country network without language barriers.
AI is fast, people are accurate. Combine them, and you get both speed and accuracy.

When Interviews Alone Aren't Enough, We Handle Report Writing Too
"I Conducted the Interview... But How Do I Organize This?"
The Expert Interview is complete. You gained valuable insights. But now the challenge is organizing this content into a report for the client.
Those working at consulting firms know this. Listening to interview content, extracting key points, cross-verifying with other data, deriving implications, and elevating it to strategic recommendations—this entire process takes as much time as the interview itself.
Especially for M&A teams or New Business Development teams at corporations without extensive consulting experience, this is an even greater burden.
"The expert said this, but what does it mean for our project?"
"How do I organize this content persuasively?"
Because it's not their usual professional domain, it feels overwhelming and difficult. Synthesizing interview findings may seem straightforward, but it can be a time-consuming process that prevents them from doing more important work.
To solve this problem, Brainconnect AI handles report writing for you.
From Expert Sourcing to Final Report—We Manage the Entire Process
Upon request, we handle the entire process.
We listen to project objectives to refine the problem statement, find and recruit suitable experts, conduct interviews, analyze content, and organize it into reports—performing all processes more professionally.
Even if you're unclear about what information you need, that's fine. We help structure hypotheses together, organize questions requiring verification, and strategize on the ideal expert profiles to target.
After interviews, we extract key points from expert responses, cross-verify with other data sources, derive implications aligned with project objectives, and complete the report.
Differentiated Reports With Expertise
This isn't simply transcribing interview content. Consulting professionals with 15-25+ years of experience provide professional, differentiated reports.
Market size and growth rate analysis, competitive landscape and major player identification, policy and regulatory Risk review, target company competitive advantage assessment—you receive consulting-grade reports.
Consider a mid-sized company's New Business Development team case. While reviewing entry into the secondary battery materials market, they interviewed 5 industry experts. However, the team lacked capacity to analyze this content and derive strategic implications.
They requested report writing from Brainconnect, and 2 weeks later received a 60-page market analysis report. It was a comprehensive report including not only Expert Interview content, but also market data, competitor analysis, and entry strategy recommendations.
"Work that would have cost tens of millions of won with a consulting firm was resolved at a reasonable cost. Most importantly, handling everything from Expert Interviews to report writing in one place significantly reduced communication costs."
