BrokerBench

A connector-operated introduction workflow that publishes broad capabilities rather than contact identities, requires staged double opt-in, records conflicts and terms, and reconciles delivery, fees, payouts, tax, disputes, and privacy rights.

The case

A confirmed buyer-side introduction marketplace reports paying demand, and its supply-side page remains limited. That supports a connector workflow but does not authorize importing, profiling, or advertising private contacts. A person's email, social connection, employer, and relationship are not inventory the connector owns.

BrokerBench should let connectors publish bounded capability statements such as industries, roles, regions, and relationship strength bands only after source and employment-policy review. A buyer requests an introduction without seeing the target's identity. The connector decides whether the request is appropriate, asks the prospective contact privately with full context, and shares identities only after both sides explicitly opt in. No platform message, contact import, or “warmth” score substitutes for consent.

Fees, brokerage and anti-bribery rules, employment conflicts, referral restrictions, procurement, tax, privacy, platform terms, and regulated domains vary. The first product should exclude securities, real estate, healthcare, legal, government, jobs, credit, insurance, and other compensated introductions needing specialized authority. Payment and tax providers can support transfers and forms, but cannot make an arrangement lawful.

Who pays — and why

Independent professional connectors such as former founders, fractional executives, agency owners, and advisers, plus business buyers seeking permissioned nonregulated introductions.

What it unlocks
A connector profile with identity, professional capacity, employer and contract conflicts, permitted categories, prohibited sectors, regions, channel rights, payout and tax onboarding, and disclosure
A capability inventory that uses broad role, industry, geography, context and relationship bands without naming or exposing contacts, and records source, age, permission status, and expiry
A staged request with buyer identity, purpose, requested party description, benefit, fee, conflicts, sensitive-domain screening, connector decision, target invitation, each side's consent, expiry, and revocation
An introduction, acceptance, delivery evidence, success definition, fee trigger, invoice, payment authorization, payout, tax record, refund, dispute, complaint, correction, retention, deletion, and portable reputation history

8
Temporal window

A current buyer marketplace validates demand and exposes a supply gap.

8
Buyer persona

Professional connectors and business introduction buyers are actionable.

5
Convergence

Several cross-references support the idea without inbound convergence.

Why it scored well

Confirmed paying demand, a clear connector buyer, available contact and payout infrastructure, and no reviewed full supply-side console support the concept.

What's holding it back

Contact rights, platform terms, regulated referral rules, marketplace liquidity, disputes, and tax are complex; the closest competitor can build supply tooling; and managed operations weaken scale.
